Tragedy struck yesterday at Old Road along Aduwawa in Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area of Edo State, when some hoodlums reportedly attacked and killed a yet-to-be identified man for allegedly hacking a suspected robber to death.
The incident was said to have occurred at a hotel, popularly known as Popori Centre, which reportedly houses commercially s3x workers, located off College Road, within a community said to be dominated by northerners.
A source in the area said, trouble started at the bar of the hotel when a brawl ensued between the deceased and some men as they tried to dispossess him of some amount of money.
Based on what was gathered, the Fulani man, sensing danger, allegedly brought out a dagger and stabbed one of the men in the stomach, who died minutes later.
As stated by the source, the attackers, who were angered by what had befallen their colleague, descended on the man and beat him to death, before fleeing the scene.
