A man has been stabbed to death by a suya seller over his refusal to pay for a #100 bread he bought which he complained that tasted sour.
The Lagos State Police Command has launched a manhunt for the suspected killer of one Peter Nwala.
It was gathered that Nwala went to buy bread, fried egg and a cup of tea from a food vendor on the Egbe-Laisu Road in the Idimu area of the state, but while eating, complained that the bread tasted sour.
He then refused to pay for the bread and this led to an argument between him and the yet-to-be-identified food vendor.
In a bid to get him to pay, the food vendor was said to have sought the help of a Hausa man, who sells barbequed meat, popularly called suya, in the area, who allegedly stabbed Nwala in the back around 10pm on Monday, November 25, 2019.
The injury sustained by Nwala from the attack reportedly led to his death, and the suspect fled the area and has been on the run ever since.
Several reactions have been trailing the circumstances that led to Nwala’s death.
A picture attached to the story on Instablog9ja showed some residents gathering at a junction suspected to be the scene of the incident.
Another picture had the caption, “They stabbed the guy, now his dead all because of N100 bread, plz stay indoor if you stay around Egbe Laisu.”
While some were against the alleged perpetrator of the crime, other blamed Nwala for causing his own death.
When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Bala Elkana, said, “The suspect is on the run, we have launched a manhunt for him.
