An Indian man has lost his life in Lagos after being stabbed by a group of robbers.

“The Indian was rushed to the hospital on Wednesday. We found out that he was stabbed in the hand and in the chest. His relatives were told that a surgery would be needed on his stomach,” a worker at the hospital, who chose to remain anonymous, told Punch.

“The doctors did the surgery on him, but he did not survive. He had lost so much blood during the attack. He died on the morning of that Sunday. His relatives had taken him away from the hospital.
