A man identified as Oruma has stabbed his 20-year-old friend in the neck over a N2,000 debt in Benin, Edo State.
The victim, identified as Frederick Eze, was reportedly stabbed by Oruma in the Oza area of the state following a fight that broke out when the victim seized one of Oruma’s property for refusing to pay the debt.
A source, who pleaded anonymity, alleged that Oruma stabbed Frederick, who hails from Ebonyi State and works in an ice-cream company in Benin, in the neck with a piece of broken bottle. He added that the victim bled and lost consciousness.
FIRSTCLASSNEWSLINEgathered that the victim was rushed to a private hospital on a wheelbarrow after several cab drivers declined to take him.
“Frederick went to demand N2,000 owed him by Oruma when an argument broke out and Oruma stabbed Eze,” the source said.
However, another source said a fight broke out during gambling among friends, adding that the fight led to the stabbing.
The source, who noted that the police had questioned Frederick at the hospital when he briefly came out of a coma, said the suspect had been arrested.
