oops!!! This Man was killed For Stepping On Another Man’s Toes
A manhunt for one Kehinde Lawal has been launched by the Lagos State Police Command after Kehinde allegedly killed a technician, Mutiu Edunjobi, in the Isheri area of the state.
According to Punch Metro, the suspect stabbed the father of two in the neck with a sharp object during Ogun festival in the area.
The festival was organised by one Friday, aka Ipodo, a popular youth leader in the community.
It was learnt that during the event, 34-year-old Mutiu, who was a close friend of Friday, allegedly stepped on Kehinde’s toes, which led to an argument.
While the victim was walking away from the argument, the suspect allegedly stabbed him in the
neck.
He was said to have held on to his assailant to fight back, but soon fell after losing much blood. He was rushed to a private hospital where he died.
A relative of the victim, Ayuba Edunjobi, said the incident happened on Sunday in Edum compound, the venue of the festival.
He said:
“Mutiu was a friend of Friday, the organiser of the festival. Some of the boys at the festival hated him because of his relationship with Friday.
“On that Sunday, around 8pm, Kehinde, a teenager, accused Mutiu of stepping on his toes. He threatened to kill him, but Mutiu dismissed the threat as a joke from a boy.
“As he walked away from the scene, Kehinde brought out a sharp object and stabbed him in the neck. Blood started spurting from the gash. Mutiu initially held Kehinde’s shirt and tried to fight back, but within seconds, he fell down as he had lost a lot of blood.”
PUNCH Metro learnt that other worshippers at the venue apprehended the suspect, while the victim was rushed to a hospital.
The elder brother of the suspect, one Yusuf, aka Ata, was said to have attacked the worshippers and freed Kehinde.
“Kehinde used the opportunity to escape. When he had escaped, people held Yusuf in place of his brother. They took him to the police station while the organiser of the festival, Friday, was also arrested,” Ayuba added.
The victim’s father, Dauda, told PUNCH Metro that the family went to report the matter at the Isheri Police Station and was told that Yusuf and Friday were already in detention.
“We were told to find the hospital where my son was admitted. Later, we got a call that he was dead and his remains were at a private hospital,” Dauda added.
Investigations by PUNCH Metro, however, revealed that Mutiu was killed as a reprisal for a gang fight that occurred sometime in March.
It was learnt that a resident had been stabbed in the neck by one of Mutiu’s friends.
Although the victim survived the attack, the police were said to have arrested Mutiu based on information from the victim’s friends.
He was, however, released after the police could not find any evidence to indict him.
Mutiu’s relative, Taofik Amore, said since the release, Mutiu’s life had been under threats, adding that efforts by his father to mediate in the case were abortive.
“The gang met his father and told him to prepare to bury his son. He appealed to them that he was only a friend of the aggressor, but they did not listen to him. We believe that Kehinde was planted at the venue to attack Mutiu,” he said.
Mutiu’s wife, Maryam, had just been delivered of a baby girl when he was killed.
Maryam, 25, called for the arrest of the prime suspect in the case.
She said:
“My husband is the breadwinner of the family. Now, they have ended all our dreams. I want Kehinde smoked out and prosecuted.”
Punch was told that some hoodlums allegedly besieged the Isheri Police Division to free the two suspects arrested by the police, but the police repelled them.
The division was said to have transferred the suspects to the State Department of Criminal Investigations, Yaba.
A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, urged the government to rid the community of cults, saying attacks on residents had reached an alarming rate.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, confirmed the incident.
She said:
“The suspect, Kehinde Lawal, allegedly stabbed one Mutiu Edunjobi in the neck with a knife during a fight at Edum compound in Isheri. The victim was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment, but he died.
“His corpse has been removed and deposited at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital morgue for autopsy. We are making efforts to get the suspect.”

Decimated Hezbollah says it is ready for cease-fire talks with Israel
Hezbollah said Tuesday it is now ready to engage in cease-fire talks with Israel, after suffering serious blows to its leadership and ranks in recent months.
The terror group in Lebanon made the announcement after firing more than 100 rockets at the Jewish state hours earlier.
Hezbollah’s deputy secretary general, Naim Qassem, publicly endorsed a truce with Israel, the first such time the terror group has proposed a cease-fire not conditioned on the war in Gaza.
“We support the political efforts led by [Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih] Berri under the banner of achieving a cease-fire,” Qassem said, according to a CNN translation.
“Once the cease-fire is firmly established and diplomacy can reach it, all other details will be discussed and decisions will be made collaboratively,” he added.
Qassem’s announcement came within hours of a massive barrage that sent more than 100 missiles soaring from Lebanon at Israel’s northern city of Haifa, the third-largest metropolis in the Jewish state.

“Absolutely Clueless And Easily The Worst Manager I Played Under” — Mikel Obi Blasts Sunday Oliseh; Blames Him For Vincent Enyeama’s Early Retirement
He said’ “I remember the first day he came into the camp. Then we reported to the camp for International duties, then he came straight at me and Vincent Enyeama, the goalkeeper, who also was very powerful back then.”
“He came straight at us and Elderson Echiejile, and he said a few things. He said he heard there was a lot of player power with us.
“Then Enyeama was like, ‘What’s wrong with you? Where are you getting all of these from? We are a nice group, and you just come in, and the first thing is to attack us?
“He was like ‘I heard about you guys.’ And then Enyeama stood up and told him he couldn’t say that because we had been here for so many years. They started arguing, and literally, they were going to have a fight.
“He took Enyeama out of the team, and he came at us saying he was going to take us out of the team. He said he was going to take us out of the team; he said he was going to make sure we didn’t play anymore.”
“Enyeama could not take it, and despite my pleas, he left the camp angrily and never came back.”
“He (Oliseh) had absolutely no clue of how a manager is. He was a fantastic guy in his playing days, but as a coach, he was very terrible. He had no clue what he was doing.
“The players never understood anything he was doing, and he did not know what he was doing. He was just confused because he just came in and destroyed the team’s togetherness.
“His excuse when he got fired was that the people and FA did voodoo on him not to succeed. He was easily the worst manager I played under.
“He was so bitter with everybody, jealous with everybody, and had no respect for speaking to anybody, whether the physio or anybody,” he added.
