Ndubusi Kalu and his
friend Simeon Chidi two year friendship came to an end on Saturday when the duo engaged in
a scuffle in their residence on Saula Sanni Street, Agbado, Ogun State
Kalu, a security guard, reportedly stabbed Chidi with a
shard of bottle in the neck and back during the fight, which lasted for
about 30 minutes. The victim was rushed to a hospital in the area, where he was declared dead
Kalu, who hails from Abia State, was subsequently arrested
30-year-old Kalu, who
blamed the incident on the devil, said he had asked Chidi to contribute
N200 for the repair, but the victim declined
Simeon (Chidi) and I were co-tenants and friends. We ate
together. I came back from work that day in the morning and he said he
didn’t have money for breakfast. I suggested that we should cook beans
and garri. I used N100 on me to buy garri
As I was cooking the food, the power went off. We later
discovered that the fault was from a fuse and five of us were affected.
The electrician that would fix it said he would collect N1,000. Two
tenants paid, but Simeon did not pay. I went to meet him. He said nobody
should disturb him. I told him we had to fix the fault on time because I
wanted to watch television and relax at home
He said the money was with somebody and that the person
had gone out. He said he would beat me with a charm if I disturbed him
again. That was how we started exchanging words. He picked a knife and
asked me to come outside
As I was struggling to collect the knife from him, he
injured me in the hand and leg. I also smashed a bottle and we started
fighting again. People were many, watching us, but nobody came to
separate us. It was after I stabbed him in the back that one man called
Baba Sheri came to separate us. I didn’t intend to kill him. It was the
devil’s handiwork
The Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP
Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the suspect would be charged to court upon the
conclusion of investigations.
He said, “The suspect and the victim were arguing over
N500. The suspect brought out a knife and stabbed the victim in about
three places.
“He was treated for a few minutes before he gave up the ghost.
“The Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmed Iliyasu, has
directed that the case be transferred to the homicide section of the
State Criminal and Intelligence Department, Eleweran, for further
investigation.”
