Lagos—Operatives of the Lagos
State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, SCIID, Yaba, are
currently investigating the death of a middle-aged man, identified as
Anuoluwapo Saheed, who was reportedly stabbed to death at a hotel in Abule Egba
area of Lagos.
It was learned that the victim,
Saheed was attacked by hoodlums led by a one Emmanuel, on July 30, in front of
Buffalo Hotel, located along Akerele Street in the Abule Egba area.
Vanguard gathered that the
hoodlums traced the victim to the hotel where he was drinking with his friends.
He was lured outside the hotel by a sex worker attached to the hotel before
they pounced on him.
Anuoluwapo Saheed was allegedly
stabbed while conversing and romancing the yet-to-be identified commercial sex
worker at the gate of the hotel.
An eyewitness, who identified
herself as Taye Adeokya, told Vanguard that the victim
was not stabbed inside the hotel.
”He came inside to drink, and he
was strolling out with one of the hotel sex workers when the incident happened.
I think the assailants were cultists, and they had been lurking around the area
for very long. As soon as he came out of the gates, he was attacked,” she said.
It was gathered that the victim
was later rushed to a nearby hospital, but bled to death.
The Lagos State Police Public
Relations Officer, DSP Patricia Amadin, confirmed the incident, saying
investigation was ongoing on the matter.
