A peacemaker, Mr Kunle Abiola, has been stabbed to death while trying
to separate two men fighting at Ajegunle area of Lagos State. The
suspected killer, identified as Chinonso, was arrested by policemen from
Ajegunle Police Station. Chinonso told policemen that he did not kill
Abiola intentionally. He attributed the Sunday incident to the handiwork
of the devil. A police source said: “The two men were quarrelling over a
minor issue which later degenerated into exchange of fisticuffs.
“Abiola came and pleaded with Chinonso to stop fighting.
The two men fighting were Abiola’s neighbours. He pleaded with both men, but they refused to listen.” A witness, Ibrahim Adeoye, said that Abiola did not know that Chinonso would come after him. For reasons yet unknown, the suspect dashed into his apartment and stormed out with a kitchen knife. Adeoye said: “He stabbed Abiola in the jaw and chest. Some people alerted the police. Chinonso was arrested. Abiola was rushed to the General Hospital at Awo-di-ora at Ajegunle.
He, however, died on the way to the hospital. “The doctors confirmed him dead. When the police brought the corpse to the station, every one of us began to cry because the victim was a good man.” Adeoye said that Abiola was a carpenter who had his workshop very close to the Ajegunle Police Station, adding that he left a wife and a child.
A police sergeant at the station said: “We knew the carpenter. He used to work for us at the station. He was very nice and friendly. We had never heard that he quarrelled with anybody before.” We pity his family. As for the suspect, he should be prepared to face the full wrath of the law. He said the devil pushed him to perpetrate the act.”
