Anthony Ogbogu is in deep trouble after stabbing his neighbour death during a scuffle in the Egbeda area of Lagos State.
The unfortunate incident happened Monday, December 22 after an argument ensued in the compound.
It all started after Anthony’s younger sister, Loveth, was taking her bath in the bathroom and was said to have blocked the passage leading to the male section of the bathroom.
A neighbour simply known as Jonathan Emeh, was said to have wanted to use the male bathroom but was denied access by the blockage by Anthony’s younger sister.
Without warning, Emeh was said to have broken down the blockage which brought about an exchange of words between him and Loveth.
The girl later reported the issue to her elder brother who accosted Emeh and a scuffle ensued.
The
fight was said to be settled by leaders of the community but Emeh who
was not satisfied with approached Anthony at a beer parlour where the
stabbing occurred.
During the scuffle, Anthony picked a kitchen knife from the bar and stabbed Emeh at the back.
Emeh died at the hospital where he was rushed to.
Anthony
was arrested by men from the Gowon Estate Police Station and was
