A
22-year-old man, Eji Emmanuel, has been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for the alleged murder of a 39-year-old trader, Sylvanus Okoye. According
to the police, the suspect stabbed the deceased to death at his home on
Ezemegbu Drive, Okota in August.
The suspect,
however, explained that he killed the deceased in self-defence. He alleged that
on the day of the incident, Okoye had attempted to rape him.
Explaining
the events that culminated in Okoye’s death, the suspect said he was a dancer
and was lured to Lagos by a friend, Chukwudi, under the guise of doing music
business only for the friend to introduce him to homosexuality.
