Man kills neighbour during fight in Ogun

A man killed his neighbor with a stick during a fight in the Itele Awori area of Nigeria’s Ogun state, according to reports.

“The duo have engaged in a violent duel, and efforts by other neighbours to separate the two yielded no result,” according to reports.

“The suspect smashed the stick on the victim’s head, after which he reportedly fell on his back with blood gushing out from that part of his head,” reports added.

The victim was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was said to have died midway to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital in Lagos.

The suspect had been arrested, according to the state Police Public Relations Officer, Odutola Omolola.

“The corpse has already been deposited at the Ota General Hospital morgue. We are assuring the family that justice will be served,” Odutola stated.
