Party Guest Killed For Demanding Extra Food.

The incident, which the Lagos State Police Command has confirmed, said it had launched a manhunt for the killers and would do everything possible to bring them to justice.

Ojuwoye Street around the Mushin area of Lagos State has turned bloody after some attendants stabbed a guest to death on the claim that he collected food more than three times.

SaharaReporters learnt that the deceased, 21-year-old Saheed Adesina, on December 12 went to the child naming ceremony at about 6 pm, which was the party time.

It was gathered that while at the party, trouble ensued when a collection of food started as the caterer, whose name could not yet be ascertained, accused Adesina of collecting food for up to three times, while others had yet to be served.

The action reportedly angered some of the party attendants, and it led to a brawl during which Adesina was stabbed to death.

A police report from the Area D Command, Mushin, the suspects took to their heels after committing the crime, and the party came to a shocking halt.
