A boy of about 14years of age, Daniel Akindele has allegedly stabbed his friend, Ayo Bameke to death over food in Agege, Lagos.
According to a source who happens to be a security personnel of Harmony Abattoir Management Services Limited in Abbatoir where the incident happened, he said; “The teenagers were four in number and between the ages of 14 and 15 years. They are always together.”
“Around 11am on Saturday morning, they were in front of the Harmony Abattoir Management Services Limited. One of our female workers was on her way out to get something at the slab when she saw one of the boys, Bameke lying on the ground.”
“While trying to ascertain what was wrong with the boy, she beckoned on the three friends to ask what happened. In the process, she discovered that Bameke had been stabbed in the left side of his chest with a pair of maternity scissors.”
“Upon realising that Bameke was lying motionless on the ground, Akindele tried escaping but the woman apprehended him.”
“While questioning him, Akindele started confessing. He said Bameke was the one that used scissors to cut his hand before he collected the scissors and used it to stab the left side of his chest.”
“Bameke was immediately rushed to Merit Hospital, Agege, by our company’s workers, but he was pronounced dead by the medical doctor. The corpse was taken to a mortuary.”
However, the Police Public Relations Officer in Lagos State, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirming the incident, said;
“Akindele was arraigned before the Yaba Magistrates’ Court, Lagos, on September 13, 2022, on the charge of murder. The magistrate ordered the teenager’s remand thereafter.”
