Man hacked to death for stopping his neighbors from watching movies in his room

A Nigerian man identified as Taiwo Eluyemi, has been butchered to death by a neighbor just because he sacked them from watching movies in his home.

Taiwo Eluyemi, who resides on Taiwo Street, Mafoluku, Oshodi area of Lagos normally invites his neighbors to watch movies and football matches in his room.

But due to the Government’s order in Nigeria that social distancing regulations should be observed to prevent the spread of Coronavirus, Taiwo has decided to put a stop to admitting a lot of people in his room to watch movies.

So when his neighbors came again to watch movies, he didn’t refuse but because they refused to observe social distancing rules, he drove them out of the room.

Unbeknownst to him, one of his neighbors identified as Habeeb, who he had a misunderstanding with sometime back, was irked by his action and nursed a plan to get back at him. Both of them had an altercation before Habeeb left Eluyemi’s apartment.

According to reports, the deceased who is popular on the street, went to his church within the area on Thursday to pick up his son and was returning home when he was allegedly attacked with a cutlass by Habeeb, and thereafter bled to death.

Habeeb was subsequently arrested and handed over to the police.

Confirming the incident, the spokesperson of the state police command, Bala Elkana, said the suspect currently in police custody and investigation into the matter is ongoing.

The sad ordeal took place this last Wednesday.
