The resident said, “Kabiru actually asked a man to bring a chair for him to sit on, but the man refused.”
“He attacked the man and injured him in the nose. The victim mobilised his gang for retaliation and they wreaked some havoc.”
“Kabiru vowed to fight back. The matter was taken to a community leader, who asked the two parties to maintain the peace.”

A family of the deceased, Nike Lawal, has forwarded an appeal to the Lagos State Government to ensure that the culprit is brought to justice.
