Bouncer arrested for allegedly stabbing man to death in Lagos club lounge

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a club bouncer, Kingsley Otti, for allegedly stabbing a man to death during a confrontation at a lounge on Ago Palace Way in the Okota area of Lagos.

In a statement released on Wednesday, the command’s spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident occurred around 3:30 a.m. on Monday.

Otti reportedly attacked the deceased during a dispute between the two in the club’s car park.

The victim fell unconscious and was rushed to the hospital, where he later died from the injuries sustained in the attack.

The statement read, “On Monday, at about 11:30 am, the manager of a club and lounge, located at Ago Palace Way, Ago-Okota, reported to the Ago-Okota Division that on the same day at about 3:30 am, a yet-to-be-identified adult male, suspected to be a hoodlum, was allegedly stabbed by the club’s bouncer, one Kingsley Oti, during an altercation between them at the club’s car park. In the process, he became unconscious.

He was rescued and rushed to Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba, Mushin, where he was confirmed dead by the doctor on duty.”

Hundeyin added that the scene was visited by a team of detectives from the division, who also visited the hospital where the corpse was inspected and photographs were taken.

“The corpse has been removed and deposited at the Mainland General Hospital Morgue, Yaba, for autopsy,” he added.

In a separate incident, a sex worker, Joy Kelvin, was also involved in the fatal stabbing of a 48-year-old man, identified as Okafor, at Jakande Housing Estate in the Lekki area on the same day.
