A driver was stabbed to death last night at civic centre, Victoria Island,Lagos.
According to one of the passangers in the car Toyota Camry Gold. He stopped at Iyana Oworo to pick passenger towards Island to continue the night work till morning. He has two people at the back. A woman and a young man of 30 but the third person sat at the front.
The woman said he got a trip of N4800 but the rider cancel so he decided to drive to Island while helping people.
The person at the front dropped at Obalende and the woman at the back moved to the front.
While approaching Civic Centre Ozumba Mbadiwe the young man at the back removed a kitchen knife and stabbed the driver on the neck twice. The driver managed to stop, run out and the woman at the front too ran after him as the blood gushed out of his neck. He was palpitating for survival but collapsed and died.
The robber who sat at the back jumped to the front to move the car and run away but a car who was behind who noticed the whole scene blocked him and few guys challenged the thief who balance with them to fight .
He was overpowered and beaten to stupor but still breathing till police took him to station with them. People who observe the robbers appearance identify him as one of those Ladipo boys who pieces cars and sell the parts for willing dealers.(He wore the ladipo shoe with nylon as socks to prevent oil spill)
E-hailing drivers are now prey to fuel, prey to our partners, prey to app providers and prey to robbers.
So sad. I can only add the car plate number as the scene was so gory.
