A resident said: “The incident happened on Tuesday, June 16, around 11pm. The man that died was collecting fees from traders. He and Buredi (Yinka) had been having issues because Ajana (Peters) and some members of his group sometimes threw away his goods whenever they had problems with him.

“But on that day, a man had approached him to buy N50 loaf of bread on credit. The bread seller started shouting at the customer that he should not come near his bread because he was not ready to sell on credit.

“At a point, Buredi said, ‘No powerful man on this street can take the loaf from me and give you.’”

Peters was said to have felt insulted by the indirect insult and an exchange of insult began. Peter pushed the suspect and in retaliation, Buredi produced a knife and stabbed Peters in the head. He fled the scene while the latter was said to have walked to a hospital where his head was stitched. He passed away at about 4 am.
