It was learnt that as soon as the fight broke out, John dashed into his room and came out with a kitchen knife and stabbed the neighbour on the neck.
A witness, Mukaila, said, “Nobody knew he came back with a kitchen knife. What we saw was blood gushing out of Godwin’s neck which made him slump. He was confirmed dead in the hospital.” Spokesman of the Lagos State Police Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed the incident, said it occurred last Thursday.
He further said, “The suspect was handed over to the police and investigation is ongoing.”
