2 Teenagers Killed During Fight Over Cash Gift From Fuji Musician In Lagos State

Two groups of warring thugs who have been fighting since last week over money given to them by a Fuji musician had on Saturday, December 27, 2014 gruesomely murdered two teenagers while they were fast asleep in their rooms at the Ijoria Badia, Apapa- Iganmu Local Council Development Area of Lagos State

According to New Telegraph report, a witness said that the hoodlums attended a stage performance of the Fuji musician, identified as Remi Aluko, at Bobland Hotel, Ijora but soon engaged in a free for all when one faction, after collecting money from the musician, refused to share.



 The witness said: “On Saturday, about 2am, I was inside my house when I heard some residents calling for help. When we rushed out, we saw that the two young boys had been stabbed to death inside their houses while they were sleeping.

They were stabbed by some of the hoodlums from Obanle and Okorede streets. Since the first incident, we have not had peace in our community. The boys had been fighting almost on a daily basis. “When we got to the scene of the incident, we rushed those who sustained injuries to a private hospital in the community.

The bodies of the victims were taken to a military hospital’s mortuary.” Akanbi, 17, one of the survivors, who spoke on his hospital bed, said: “My and I friends were inside our room, sleeping when the hoodlums came to attack us.

 They wounded four of us. “They came straight to our apartment and broke down our door. They started stabbing everybody in the room. I could not escape their assault. “I was given cuts on my head and arm. I did not know when I was rushed to the hospital.

We are tired of this madness and the senseless killings by these men. We urge the Lagos State Government and the Commissioner of Police, Mr Kayode Aderanti, to intervene in these clashes.” Also speaking was another anonymous resident who said, “This is festive period.

We did not celebrate the Christmas in peace as everyone was gripped by fear, thinking that the youngsters may come to attack us at night.”
