A bricklayer, Demola Wasiu, has been
arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly killing his
friend, Lekan Omotosho, 27.
PUNCH Metro learnt that Wasiu,
an indigene of Ede, Osun State, stabbed the Ogun State indigene in the
armpit after he refused to charge his phone for him.
The victim was said to have lost a lot
of blood before he was rushed to the Lagos Island General Hospital,
where he died on Friday.
The suspect, who was arrested by
policemen from the Lion Building division, was later transferred to the
State Department of Criminal Investigation, Yaba.
It was gathered that Omotosho was an apprentice in a mechanic workshop on Ajele Street, Lagos Island.
He was said to have come to Lagos from Mowe, Ogun State, three months ago.
His boss, Olayinka Oyinloye, said he had
warned him against his friendship with Wasiu after he was arrested for a
crime he knew nothing about.
He said, “Just two months ago, the
police arrested him while watching over Wasiu’s phone. The problem is
that they usually smoke hemp in that place where they charge phones.
Throughout the time of his detention, this so called friend did not
check on him.
“After I got him out on bail, I warned him against the friendship and cautioned him not to allow anybody put him in trouble.
“On Thursday, Wasiu came again and asked
him to help him charge his phone and watch over it. Lekan (Omotosho)
refused. That was how he became angry and started fighting him.”
