A 25-year-old security guard, identified simply as Solomon, has lost his life after being stabbed to death at Langbasa in the Eti-Osa Local Government Area of Lagos State
It was gathered that the deceased left his duty post and stepped out to discuss with some friends on the street where he lived.
The discussion had barely lasted close to an hour when an argument broke out between him and one 20-year-old Muhammed.
The argument later degenerated into a fight between the two. Agitated by the development, Muhammed was said to have left the spot, headed for a sharp object and returned to stab Solomon in the chest.
A resident in the area who craved anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the incident said the attack on Solomon left him bleeding.
He said, “Solomon and Muhammed were both friends. While Solomon was a security guard, Muhammed is an errand boy living in the next compound where Solomon carried out his duty. We were told that the discussion was not the first of its kind. They often discussed and argued and later resolved the matter within themselves. But the moment they started to argue that evening, it appeared usual and no one knew it would get to that level.
“When Muhammed went to pick up the sharp object, Solomon did not take him seriously until he moved closer and stabbed him in the chest. Solomon fell immediately and started bleeding. The moment some of the friends present at the spot saw what happened, they took to their heels.”
The resident further disclosed that the late Solomon after bleeding for a while on the spot later became unconscious. He added that he was later rushed to the hospital.
