Tragedy struck in Zango Daji Quarters in the Adavi Local Government Area of Kogi State on Friday as a 39-year-old man, identified as Sunday Orishagbemi was stabbed to death while trying to settle a quarrel between two men over urination.
The tragedy, which has been confirmed by the Kogi State Police Public Relations Officer, SP William Ovye Ayah, started in the evening of Friday when a friend of the deceased, described as a vulcanizer at Ganaja junction, Lokoja, branched to urinate close to a building owned by one of the residents of the quarters.
The owner of the building had reportedly resisted the action and a quarrel began between them.
Concerned about the development, Sunday Orishagbemi, the deceased, came in to settle the quarrel between his friend and the owner of the house.
In the process, the son of the owner of the house allegedly brought out a knife and stabbed Orishagbemi to death.
Ayah, who confirmed the development in an interview with journalists in Lokoja on Saturday, said the deceased was killed at Okada Park at Zango Daji, adding that the suspect had been arrested by the police for investigation.
He promised that the suspect would be arraigned in court for prosecution as soon as the investigation is concluded in the case.
