Operatives of the Lagos State Criminal
Investigation and Intelligence Department, SCIID, Yaba, are currently
investigating the death of a middle-aged man, identified as Anuoluwapo
Saheed, who was reportedly stabbed to death at a hotel in Abule Egba area of
Lagos.
It was learned that the victim, Saheed was
attacked by hoodlums led by a one Emmanuel, on July 30, in front of Buffalo
Hotel, located along Akerele Street in the Abule Egba area.
Vanguard gathered that the hoodlums traced the
victim to the hotel where he was drinking with his friends. He was lured
outside the hotel by a sex worker attached to the hotel before they pounced on
him.
Anuoluwapo Saheed was allegedly stabbed while
conversing and romancing the yet-to-be identified commercial sex worker at the
gate of the hotel.
An eyewitness, who identified herself as Taye
Adeokya, told Vanguard that the victim was not stabbed
inside the hotel.
”He came inside to drink, and he was strolling
out with one of the hotel sex workers when the incident happened. I think the
assailants were cultists, and they had been lurking around the area for very
long. As soon as he came out of the gates, he was attacked,” she said.
It was gathered that the victim was later
rushed to a nearby hospital, but bled to death.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations
Officer, DSP Patricia Amadin, confirmed the incident, saying investigation was
ongoing on the matter.
