A family seeking justice after their 21-year-old son d!ed following an alleged sta.bbing during a dispute over ₦100 in the Meiran area of Lagos
According to his sister, the young man had gone to visit a friend on Saturday, August 8, 2026. He reportedly took a motorcycle to the area and needed cash to pay the rider.
She said her brother transferred ₦500 to the account of a man who sells biscuits from a small kiosk near the house, expecting him to give him the equivalent in cash.
According to the family, the man told him he would deduct ₦100 as a charge. When the young man objected to the deduction, an argument reportedly followed.
His sister alleged that the man picked up a pair of scissors and sta.bbed him.
He was taken to hospital for treatment, but the family says he was not admitted and eventually d!ed from blo.od loss.
The suspect has reportedly fled, and the family says they have been unable to locate him. The matter has been reported at Meiran Police Station.
His sister is now appealing for help in ensuring that the person responsible is found and brought to justice.
She described her younger brother as a 21-year-old with a promising future. Just two days before his de.ath, he had sent her his WAEC result, in which he passed all his subjects with As.
She said:
“My younger brother was k!lled on Saturday, the 8th of August 2026 by an aboki guy. My brother was sta.bb£d just because of ₦100.
So, my brother took a bike to his friend’s place, when he got there, there’s this aboki guy who sells biscuits, just like those abokis who have kiosks in front of people’s house.
He was supposed to pay the bike guy, so because he didn’t have cash, he transferred ₦500 to the aboki guy’s account to give him cash.
The aboki guy said he was going to remove ₦100 charges from the ₦500. And because my brother wasn’t having it, the aboki guy took a pair of scissors and sta.bb£d him.
He was rushed to hospitals, they rejected him, and eventually, my brother blo.od to de.ath.
My brother was just 21 years old and had a promising future. In fact, two days before his de.ath, he sent me his WAEC result, which he made all his papers and had As.
I never believed that was the last message my brother would send to us.
We want justice for him. We don’t know who to run to. We have reported the case to Meran Police Station. And the aboki guy who k!lled my brother is on the run, and we can’t find or trace him.
I don’t want this to be a regular Nigerian story. Nigeria happened to us. Yes, but please, I want justice for my brother.”
