Armed robbers hacks security man to death over a lady.....SEE PHOTO

Firstclass newsline learnt that a security personnel, identified as
Wasiu Okanlawon, has been stabbed to death by armed robbers in the Ile
Zik, Ikeja area of Lagos.
Firstclass newsline learnt that Wasiu, who was attacked last Friday at
about 9pm, was killed while he and a female colleague were returning
home from work.
It was learnt that Okanlawon and the colleague, whose name had yet to
be ascertained, were going in a commercial bus, when the bus had a
flat tyre. The bus passengers were said to have alighted, while the
driver tried to change the tyre.
The robbers, whose number had yet to be identified, reportedly came
out of hiding and attacked the stranded passengers.
A colleague of the deceased, who spoke with a source on condition of
anonymity, said Okanlawon was stabbed to death when he prevailed on
the robbers not to sexually harass his female colleague.
He said, "He and the lady from our office were in the commercial bus
going home. When they got to the Ile Zik Junction in Ikeja, the
commercial bus had a flat tyre, and all the passengers alighted.
"They stood by the roadside, while the driver changed the tyre.
Suddenly, the robbers came out and began to rob the passengers of
their possession.
"They came with weapons and attacked them. Wasiu (Okanlawon), who was
with his laptop, tried to escape from the area, but he noticed that
they had descended on the lady, so he went back. It was then that the
robbers collected his phones and the laptop, before stabbing him in
the neck."
Firstclass newsline learnt that Okanlawon was rushed to a nearby
hospital after the robbers had left, but he died on the way.
"The control room of our security company was called. Okanlawon was
rushed to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, but
their efforts did not yield any result," the source added.
It was learnt that the matter was reported at the Ikeja Police
Division, while Okanlawon's corpse was dropped at the LASUTH's morgue.
It was gathered that Okanlawon, who had yet to marry, was planning his
wedding for September 2015.
A police source told firstclass newsline that although the deceased
was a muslim, his burial was being delayed so that an autopsy to
establish the cause of his death would be carried out.
It was added that the female colleague had been invited by the police
for questioning.
The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed the incident.
He added that investigation was ongoing on the matter.
He said, "Investigations into the incident have commenced.
