Saheed Badmus
According
to report, at a viewing centre on Lamina Street, Egbe area of the
state, while the match was going on, Saheed stood up and Yemi started
shouting at him to sit down as he was obstructing his view and
preventing him from seeing the match. Yemi was then cautioned by an
elderly man to stop shouting and he started insulting the man.
A
friend of the deceased, Muyideen Waheed said Saheed cautioned the
barber to stop insulting an elderly man and an argument ensued. The
owner of the viewing centre then pushed the arguing duo outside and
locked them out.
It was gathered from
eyewitnesses that as they got outside, Yemi picked up a bottle and
stabbed Saheed. As if that was not enough, he chased after Saheed who
was running for his life and stabbed him again in the face.
When
some of the viewers came out, they saw Saheed lying in a pool of blood
and he was rushed to Obeeh Hospital and Bisalam Hospital but they
rejected him. He was referred to Igando General Hospital where he was
pronounced dead.
After the incident,
Yemi was said to have fled to his father’s house who alerted the police
and he was arrested by policemen from the Ikotun Police Division.
He
was described by his father as a troublemaker and residents also said
he was a violent man who had on several occasions attacked youths in the
area.
Meanwhile, another person,
identified as Destiny Ameh, also reportedly lost his life at another
viewing centre in the Badagry area of the state as he was struck in the
head with a sharp object while celebrating a goal.
He was rushed to Victoria Private Hospital where he was confirmed dead and the owner of the viewing centre has been arrested.
