An
electronics dealer in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State, Lukman Lambo,
may have to undergo a surgery to regain the use of his left eye, Punchng
reports.
The injury was inflicted on him by soldiers, who also dragged him on
the street. It was said that the girlfriend of one of the soldiers had a
disagreement with Lukman’s younger brother, Saheed. .
Saheed and the lady, identified simply as Dasola, were neighbours on
Itulubajo Lane, Alhaji Street, Ikorodu. It was learnt that the duo were
lovers, until a few weeks ago when a disagreement over money strained
their relationship. .
It was gathered that some residents clashed around 11am on Saturday,
November 11, in the house where Saheed lives and Dasola went to watch
the altercation.
Saheed
was said to have rebuked her for poking her nose into a situation that
did not concern her. At about 5pm on that day, Dasola reportedly led her
soldier boyfriend in company with three other soldiers to Saheed’s
residence. .
The soldiers did not meet Saheed at home, but they descended on his
elder brother, Lukman, who was on a visit. The victim revealed that one
of the soldiers believed to be Dasola’s boyfriend rained blows on his
face. .
He said he was handcuffed to a motorcycle while one of the soldiers
rode the bike and dragged him on the street. Lukman said the soldiers
left him when blood started coming out from his eyes. .
The
case was reported at the Igbogbo Police Station and Dasola was
arrested. Saheed explained that a week before the incident, he had taken
Dasola to an inn in the community.
He said after the date, he gave her N1,500, but she rejected it,
insisting that she would collect N2,500. Saheed said, “She later
collected the N1,500, but tore my clothes. .
Afterwards, she would abuse me whenever she saw me. On Saturday,
November 11, my friends fought in our compound and she came. I told her
she was nosy. We abused each other and she left and later came back with
the soldiers to intimidate me.”
