“I didn’t know when Chukwuemeka left where he was standing for the other side of the shop, where the fight was ongoing. Suddenly, Victor took a coconut and used it to attack John, but as he threw it in John’s direction, the coconut hit Chukwuemeka on his head.
mmediately, he started bleeding in the head and he fell to the ground. Although he was still conscious, I quickly carried him and used his clothing to wrap his head. I called my boss to inform him of the situation and he directed me to quickly take him to the Ikorodu General Hospital for treatment. So, a vehicle conveyed us to the place.”
Chukwuemeka’s boss, Aguyi Mba, said the victim died two days after being admitted, adding that he had handed the three boys involved in the fight that led to his death over to the police.
Mba said, “What caused the fight was that John put his basin of goods at a particular spot, but Victor shifted it from the spot and put his own basin there. This got John annoyed and he started attacking Victor. Even Augustine, who was supposed to separate them, also started attacking Victor. Both of them beat him to the point that they used a stool to hit Victor.
