confessed that his action was a mistake he regretted.It was learned that the
suspect, identified as Tunde Azeez, allegedly stabbed Lukmon Ayedun with a
broken bottle at 8:42pm during a brawl.
Azeez, a father of one from Ogbomosho, told Vanguard:
"I did not kill him deliberately. All I did was wake
him up from sleep so that he could eat with me. I did not know it would make
him angry or degenerate to a fight, let alone lead to his death.What actually
happened on that fateful day was that I went to buy food from a nearby food
vendor at Amuwo Odofin. When I came back my friend Lukmon was sleeping. Read more after cut
"So I woke him up to eat. He got angry and gave me a
blow. I was surprised, so I asked him why he was acting so weird and if he was
alright.
"As if that was not enough, while I was asking him what
was wrong with him, he broke a bottle and stabbed me on my left
hand.Immediately, I took a bottle, broke it and stabbed him on his head.
"Afterwards, I ran to call Sir K, an Oodua Peoples Congress,
OPC, Commander and others to intervene because Lukmon was still holding a
bottle, making attempt to stab me again.When Sir K and other people came to
intervene, they decided to take us to the hospital because we were bleeding
terribly from the injuries.He fell off the motorcycle and died on the way to
the hospital.
"For goodness sake, I do not have any reason to kill
him; we have been friends for over four years before this unfortunate
incident.I am married with a child and from Ogbomosho in Oyo State. I am a
truck driver and started driving in 2010.
"I do not have a house. I sleep inside the motor garage
at night. My wife and child are in the village."
Vanguard learned that the case is currently being
investigated at the homicide section of the State Criminal Investigation
Department, SCID, Yaba Lagos
