Man stabs bricklayer to death over N20,000 debt in Ogun.

In Ogun state, One Michael Sunday has allegedly stabbed a 45-year-old bricklayer, Avonse Abraham, to death in the Alli Isiba area of Sango-Ota, Ogun State, over a N20,000 debt.

It was gathered that Abraham was returning from work on Saturday when he was accosted around the Faith Chapel junction area of Alli Isiba Street by Sunday, who allegedly stabbed him with a broken bottle.

PUNCH Metro learnt that the father of three owed the suspect’s mother the sum of N50,000 out of which he had paid N30,000.

However, his failure to pay the balance infuriated Sunday, who allegedly stabbed him with a broken bottle.

An eyewitness, who identified himself simply as Wale, told our correspondent that the suspect had beaten the deceased with a plank earlier before Saturday’s incident.

He said, “The deceased owed the mother of his killer N50,000 and had paid N30,000 out of it when Sunday hit him with a plank for refusing to settle the balance. Sunday was sitting on a fence with a friend called Asa when he sighted the victim on Saturday night and accosted him while holding a bottle.
