A young man identified as Fubara Onyengi in Lagos has fallen victim to an unfortunate incident as he was stabbed to death during a dispute over leftover fuel from a carnival held on New Year’s day at the Lakeview Phase 2, Amuwo-Odofin area of the state.
Lagos police command SP Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed the tragic incident on Friday, as Onyengi reportedly died from a stab following a heated argument.
