SO SAD: Peacemaker Dies Trying To Settle Fighting Neighbours

What can be regarded as an unfortunate tragedy recently occurred in Ajegunle, Lagos state, when a peacemaker in an attempt to separate two fighting neighbours lost his life.

Kunle Abiola met his untimely death in the hands of one of the fighters as he tried to restore peace between the warring neighbours.

The killer, who was identified as one Chinomso, confessed he stabbed Abiola after he was nabbed by the police.

According to a report on Daily Post, Chinomso revealed that he never thought of stabbing the deceased to death, saying it was accidental.

It was gathered that two neighbours were quarrelling over a minor issue which later resulted into exchange of blows. Abiola was said to have tried to restore peace when he was stabbed to death in the process.

A resident identified as Ibrahim said: “He stabbed Kunle in the jaw and chest. Some people called the police and Chinomso was arrested. Abiola was rushed to the General Hospital at Ajegunle.”

Kunle gave up the ghost on his way to the hospital.

However, the state police spokesperson, Kenneth Nwosu, could not confirm the incident as he is yet to receive any of such report.

Meanwhile, in another sad development, a 14-sitter boat conveying school children capsized on Wednesday, July 1, along the Ojo Irewe waterways in Lagos. Six of them reportedly drowned, while eight of them including the driver were rescued.
