BENIN CITY—An Army Lance Corporal, identified as Moses, who allegedly stabbed a driver, Ogbimi, to death over an altercation in Okene, Kogi State, has been arrested.
It was gathered that the deceased, a driver with a popular
transport company, had gone to recover one of the company’s vehicles that broke
down, when their towing van bruised a soldier’s car.
An argument ensued and the soldier attacked the deceased
with a jack knife.
He then got in his vehicle and fled. But road users and
other passers-by chased him.
He abandoned his car and ran into a bush behind
a private building at Agbede in Edo State, from where he was arrested.
