IKORODU TRAGEDY: BOXER ACCUSED OF KILLING CARPENTER OVER BURST FOOTBALL
A distressing incident reportedly occurred in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State, where a professional boxer allegedly fatally attacked a carpenter following a dispute over a burst football.
According to eyewitnesses, the victim — identified as a local carpenter — was playing football when the ball accidentally deflated and rolled into the path of the boxer, who then confronted the carpenter. What started as an apparent minor disagreement escalated rapidly, and the carpenter was said to have sustained fatal injuries following an attack.
Residents of the neighbourhood expressed shock that a seemingly trivial incident could lead to such deadly violence, and several have urged the authorities to ensure swift investigation and accountability.
The Lagos State Police Command has been notified of the incident and is expected to issue a formal statement. Until full facts are established, the allegations remain under detention and investigation.
