An 18-year-old man, Biliya Lawal, has died after receiving a punch in his stomach during a fight with his 14-year-old neighbour, simply identified as Danladi.
He said, “Both Lawal who is about 18-year-old and Danladi, a 14-year-old boy, live in the same compound located at Gadabiu in Kwali Area Council. I don’t know what in particular led to the exchange of words but it must have been a serious issue.
“The verbal exchange of words became heated and later resulted in a physical fight. The two exchanged blows, in the process, Danladi’s punch hit Lawal in his stomach. Lawal fell to the ground and immediately went unconscious. He was immediately rushed to the Kwali General Hospital where the doctor who attended to them pronounced him dead. The matter as I speak to you has spread to everywhere in the community.
When contacted, the FCT command’s spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, confirmed the incident, adding that Danladi had been arrested.Kindly share this story: All rights reserved.
