A tenant identified,Adekunle Adeyemi,has gone into hiding after allegedly stabbing a co-tenant,Stanley Dickson,to death in the Grammar School Area of Ikorodu,Lagos state.
Stanley accused Adekunle of having an illicit affair with the wife of another neighbour,Arinze Onuoha,who confronted him with the accusation,according to reports gathered by Punch Methro.
During the confrontation,it was learnt that an argument ensued between Adekunle and Arinze ,but Stanley,who informed Arinze of the alleged affair with his wife,Chisom,was not at home.
Adekunle was said to have threatened to confront Stanley with the accusation on his return from work in the evening.
A resident of the area,Ibidunni Adegoke,said during a visit to the area on Sunday that when both Adekunle and Stanley returned from work in the evening,they had a confrontation,which degenerated into a fight.
"Stanley went to report his Neighbour's wife,Chisom, to her mother-in-law that Adekunle was having sexual relations with her .
From what we gathered,all of them live in the same building and Adekunle had been assisting Chisom with money to feed her family whenever her husband,Arinze did not provide money for them to feed.
"So,because of that,he concluded that they were in a relationship and went ahead to inform Arinze's mother. When Arinze was informed he had a shouting match with Adekunle,who later got to know that Stanley was the person who accused him of having an affair with the woman . So Adekunle left for work but promised to have a word with Stanley when he returned.
"In the evening,when both of them had returned from work,an argument ensued between Adekunle and Stanley and it degenerated into a fight .When Adekunle was overpowering Stanley,the latter instructed his wife in Igbo language to bring a knife ,which he used in stabbing Adekunle's leg.
Adekunle later dispossessed him of the knife and used it to stab Stanley in the chest . After stabbing him,he pinned Stanley to the ground until he died," she said.
when contacted,the state police Public Relations Officer,Bala Elkana,said the case had been transferred to the state criminal investigation and intelligence Department Panti,Yaba for discreet investigation,adding that a manhunt had been launched for Adekunle.
"On observation of the victim,marks of violence were seen on the left side of his chest, the corpse was evacuated to the Ikorodu General Hospital's mortuary for autopsy and one Mariam Ismail,30,partner of the suspected murderer,is assisting in the investigation. The case has been transferred to the homicide section,SCIID,Panti,for furtherv investigation and we have launched a manhunt for the suspect."
