Officers from the Alagbado Police Station of the Lagos State Police Command have arrested Yusuf Ogunmefun, a commercial biker after he stabbed a passenger, Balogun Adeyemi Musa to death.

Musa refused to pay N100 for his transport after the okada rider dropped him off at his destination.
According to an eyewitness Musa offered the okada man N200, but the bike man vehemently refused the offer and insisted that Musa pay him the money directly.
However, angry Musa insisted that he would not pay the N100.
The now raged Ogunmefun (the motorcyclist), allegedly shoved Musa to the ground before attacking him with blows.
After onlookers attempted to separate the fight, Ogunmefun hurried to retrieve an old bottle, broke it, and stabbed his passenger (Musa) in the neck, causing Musa to bleed severely.
Discovering the damage he had done Ogunmefun allegedly tried to flee but he was stopped by bystanders, who subsequently handed him over to police officers at AIT Alagbado Police Station.
Thereafter, the injured Musa
was reportedly taken to G&T Hospital by good Samaritans
where the doctor on duty attempted to revive him but failed.
Reports stated that Ogunmefun was taken by police at AIT Alagbado Police Station for questioning.
