Tragedy struck in the Ajah area of Lagos as a landlord’s son, identified as Taiye Adebayo, reportedly stabbed his father’s tenant to death over an argument about parking space.
It was gathered that the deceased, 36-year-old
Oluwasegun Shonibare, was killed on Sunday night, November 19, 2023.
The father of three was said to have parked his minibus, also known as ‘korope’, in front of his complex on number 24 Adewunmi Close, Ilaje Ajah when he returned on that certain day.
However, Taiye reportedly beat on his door, jolting him awake.
According to eyewitnesses, the landlord’s son told the tenant to go get his minibus from where it was parked.
But the deceased was said to have gone outside and claimed that the location was his usual parking spot.
Following an argument, Adebayo allegedly stabbed Oluwasegun in various places of his body.
Explaining how news of his death was received, the elder brother of the deceased, Faid Shonibare, said, “I got a call from a private number by 1:29 am being a Sunday morning (19th of November 2023) that my brother was dead. As early as 6:20 am, I rushed to Ajah and met my brother’s lifeless body in the pool of his blood, as he was stabbed in different parts of his body.”
In a separate development, the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai has killed a top Boko Haram terrorist leader, Abu Asad and numerous others in air strikes on their stronghold in Tagoshe on the Mandara Mountains in Borno.
Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, Director, Public Relations and Information, Nigerian Air Force (NAF), said this in a statement, on Saturday in Abuja.
Gabkwet stated that the air strikes carried out on Friday were one of the most successful strikes by the air component of Operation Hadin Kai in recent memory.
He said NAF spotted a group of terrorists in a remote place consisting of three zinced huts surrounded by trees.
He added that the tape showed the terrorists gathering at the spot for either a well-planned meeting or a large attack on troops.
Over 100 heavily armed terrorists were witnessed hurling banters and wandering wildly around the structures, which also housed four army carriers, according to him.
“The aftermath of the air strike revealed that two out of the three structures, as well as the entire troop carriers, were destroyed.
“There are also indications that Abu Asad, a key figure in the Ali Ngulde group under Boko Haram, as well as other terrorists like Ibrahim Nakeeb, Mujaheed Dimtu, Mustafa Munzir, and several fighters were among the several terrorists eliminated in the air strike,” he said.
