man, Julius Joseph, for allegedly pinging on
the road while driving in the Ijaiye area of
Lagos State.
According to Punch, Joseph was said to be
returning from a bank in the area to
withdraw money when Olaniran, who was in
a Toyota Corolla, blocked the road and
accused him of pinging and driving. Though
it was later revealed that Joseph was
checking an alert he received on his phone
when the incident occurred.
However,34-year-old Joseph challenged the
42-year-old mechanic, Olaniran for driving
against the traffic and both men were said to
have alighted from their cars to sort the
issue the ‘Nigerian way’.
The ‘sorting’ got messy and mechanic
Olaniyan, who is a native of Ibadan, Oyo
State, allegedly used a bottle to stab Joseph.
He also made away with Joseph’s two
phones and N5,000. Joseph after losing
much blood reportedly slumped at the spot.
He was later rushed to the Lagos State
University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, and was
later referred to the National Orthopaedic
Hospital, Igbobi for intensive care.
Punch reports that the suspect was however
apprehended after the incident was reported
at the Meiran Police Station. A prosecutor,
Lugard Ahonle, subsequently brought him
before an Ikeja Magistrate’s Court sitting in
Ijaiye on five counts bordering on assault
and stealing.
