It was reported that Kalu, 45, suffered some injuries during the fight before passing away on Saturday.
In a statement delivered to journalists on Saturday night, SP Omolola Odutola, the PPRO of the state police command, revealed this.
The statement partly reads, “The Divisional Police Officer in Odeda in Abeokuta have received a report of a death incident, that one Mark Kalu, aged 45 years old, died today, January 6th, 2023, at about 0700hrs.

The altercation took place in the market square between the late Mark Kalu and a couple, Moses Mba, aged 50 years old, and his wife, Florence Moses, aged 40 years old, leading to the death of Kalu.
“Efforts were made by the Babaloja of Osiele and the Igbo community leader to mediate and find a peaceful resolution.
