The driver said, “Both Lawal who is about 18-year-old and Danladi, a 14-year-old boy, live in the same compound located at Gadabiu in Kwali Area Council. I don’t know what in particular led to the exchange of words but it must have been a serious issue.

“The verbal exchange of words became heated and later resulted in a physical fight. The two exchanged blows, in the process, Danladi’s punch hit Lawal in his stomach. Lawal fell to the ground and immediately went unconscious. He was immediately rushed to the Kwali General Hospital where the doctor who attended to them pronounced him dead. The matter as I speak to you has spread to everywhere in the community. ”

She said, “The suspect is custody. The case has been transferred to SCID for further investigation.”
