Protest in Igando as Hausa trader kills driver over N30

A 40-year-old Hausa trader, Ibrahim Adamu, allegedly killed a bus driver, Lekan Adeleke on Monday. This caused serious chaos on Mojeed Sanni Street, in the Igando area of Lagos State. Some residents and friends of the victim made a bonfire on the road as they chased away Hausa traders in the community, threatening to avenge the killing.

Vanguard gathered that late Adeleke, 37, an only son, who plied Iyana-Ipaja/Iyana-Iba route, visited a canteen owned by the suspect, identified as Adamu, at College Bus Stop at about 11p.m.

He requested for noodles and two eggs to be prepared for him, after which he was given a bill of N230. But he was said to have paid N200, and Adamu started a fight.

Another customer, Kehinde Ayanduro, appealed to Adamu to allow Adeleke to go home to get the balance of N30, which Adeleke did.

But when he came back with the money, Adamu still continued the fight.

Ayanduro said Adeleke finally escaped and was crossing the road when Adamu went after him and hit him on the head with a piece of wood. Adeleke fell and died. Adamu ran and hid in a drainage until police arrived.
