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.

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.”
