A man named Remi was reportedly stabbed to death after an argument with some members of his community in the Ijeun Titun section of Abeokuta South Local Government section in Ogun State.
According to a source who pleaded anonymity for fear of being probed, the event occurred in the early hours of Saturday after some suspected loan sharks arrived to harass Remi
It was also gathered that an argument ensued between Remi and the trio of Seyi, Ayeke and Bado, and in the process, Remi was stabbed in the neck.
The impact of the cut was said to have caused Remi to lose a lot of blood which eventually led to his death.
Meanwhile, upon seeing that Remi had given up the ghost, Seyi and Ayeke were said to have fled the scene of the incident while Bado was apprehended by the community members and handed over to the police.
