On Monday employee of Etisalat, Chukwuma Eze, in the Ejigbo area of Lagos State was killed by a suspected member of the Odua Peoples Congress known by the pseudonym “Ultimate” during an argument over N10 toll.
According to PUNCH Metro , N10 toll was collected by the OPC members at a footbridge that links Ejigbo with Ajao Estate, the deceased told the collectors that he had only N1, 000 denominations with him and offered it to one of the collectors who asked him to come back for his balance.
He was shocked when on his return a female member of the group insisted that he did not give N1,000 to the collectors.
The deceased was angry by the denial which result to a fight between him and the female member of the group.
it was obvious that the female member of the group could not match Eze’s strength, “Ultimate,” was said to have brought out an object suspected to be charm and hit the telecoms employee with it on the chest, he slumped and died on the spot.
immediately the kinsmen in the area heard Eze is dead, they attacked some members of the OPC found at the footbridge.
A source told PUNCH Metro that in the ensuing pandemonium, a member of the OPC was also killed, while some motorcycles and a generator belonging to members of the group were vandalised.
