Man Kills Friend For Refusing To Charge His Phone

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a bricklayer, Demola Wasiu, for allegedly killing his 27-year-old friend, Lekan Omotosho after he refused to charge his phone for him.

 
Policemen from the Lion Building Division were said to have arrested Wasiu, an indigene of Ede, Osun State on Saturday and the case was subsequently transferred to the State Department of Criminal Investigation, SDCI, Yaba.

At the SDCI, the suspect begged for forgiveness, saying he never intended to kill Omotosho.

Wasiu said, “All I want is forgiveness. I did not mean to kill him. He was my friend and I have no reason to kill him.

“Please help me beg them to give me another chance. I have no father or mother to assist me,” he added.

The victim who was an apprentice in a mechanic workshop on Ajele Street, Lagos Island reportedly died on arrival at the Lagos Island General Hospital.

Confirming the incident, the Deputy Police Public Relations Officer, Damasus Ozoani, said investigations were ongoing.
