The Lagos State Police Command has
apprehended one Nwabuike Enwerem, 18, for
allegedly hacking to death his neighbour,
Sunday IIaya.

The unfortunate incident happened on
Mulianu Street, Ajangbadi area of Lagos State.
Enwerem was said to have stabbed the victim
on the left side of the neck in the course of a
misunderstanding over money meant to be
shared by their younger brother.

It was learnt that both boys fought in defence
of their younger brothers who were given
money after collecting firewood from the bush
for a ceremony in their area.

On fetching the firewood, the suspect’s
younger brother complained to him that he
was short changed by the younger brother of
the deceased.

An argument ensued which led to a fight and
before anyone knew what was happening,
Enwerem, was said to have gone into his
parents room and came out with a knife with
which he used in hacking the deceased.

Enwerem, who hails from Anambra State, was
charged before an Ebute Meta Magistrate’s
Court on a one count of murder.

The charge reads, “That you, Nnabaike
Enwerem, on December 24, 2014, at about
8.30pm, at Mulianu Street, Ajangbadi, Lagos
in the Lagos Magisterial District, did
unlawfully kill one Sunday Ilaya, aged 18
years, by stabbing him with a knife on the left
side of his neck and thereby committed an
offence punishable under Section 221 of the
Criminal Law of Lagos State, Nigeria, 2011.”
The police prosecutor, represented by Corporal
Lydia Akhadolome prayed the Court to
remand the suspect in prison custody because
he was in for a murder charge.

The magistrate, Nurudeen Layeni, granted the
application by the police.

Layeni said, “The defendant is to be remanded
in custody for the first 30 days pending legal
advice from the DPP. The police are also to
duplicate the case file on time.”

The Magistrate however adjourned the case till
March 10, this year.
