This is why i always advise people not to intervene when you
see two or three peeps fighting cos you might just end up
being the victim! Some hoodlums started a street fight on
Olorogun Street, Odo Eran, in the Itire area of Lagos State on
Tuesday, during which a 21-year-old stabbed a landlord,
identified as Alawu Lateef, to death.

Lateef, who was a father of three, had intervened in the
fight, and asked the hoodlums to leave the area, when one
of them, identified as Lati Elepo, stabbed the landlord.
Punch Newspaper reports that the father of three slumped,
while residents arrested Elepo before he could escape with
the other hoodlums. The matter was said to have been
reported at the Itire Police Division.

The hoodlums, numbering six boys, had come from
Osindero Street to meet one Balogun, who they claimed
owed them about N30,000. It was learnt that when the
hoodlums did not meet Balogun at home, they started to
make trouble on the street.

The landlord, Lateef, who worked as a panel beater, was.
said to have asked Elepo to leave the area with his gang
members. The hoodlum, however, stabbed him in the chest.
Friends and family members rushed the landlord to a
private hospital in the area, from where he was referred to
the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi Araba, where he
was confirmed dead.

His corpse was afterwards brought to the Itire division. One
of his neighbours, who identified himself simply as. Rashidi,
said Lateef did not have any business with the miscreants,
but only tried to pacify them when Elepo stabbed him on the
chest.

Rashidi added that Elepo and two other suspects were
arrested by the police. He said,
“It was at about 11am when these boys from Osindero
stormed our street. They are teenagers. They are not
cultists. They said Balogun owed them N30,000 which they
must collect from him.

“Lateef did not want such commotion on the street. So, he
came out to caution them to take things calmly. The one who
stabbed him was drunk.

“While Lateef spoke with them, the suspect went to a shop of
an artisan who sharpens knives and other metals, grabbed
about three knives and stabbed Lateef on the chest.

Residents arrested him and dragged him to the police
station while other hoodlums ran away.”
Another neighbour, who spoke on condition of anonymity
said,
“Lateef was a nice man. His wife gave birth to their third
child just two. months ago. If Balogun was around, Lateef would not have intervened in the rampage.”
