A 50-year-old man, Sunday Orochendo, has been arrested by
the police in Lagos State for allegedly killing his neighbour, Rafel Ngbobile,
60, during a fight.
Vanguard gathered that the incident which occurred on
Saturday, November 1, at their 30, Magbesa Street residence in Kirikiri Town,
Lagos, started when the deceased had a quarrel with the suspect’s wife over a
yet-to-be ascertained reason.
Sources disclosed that the wife of the suspect, who is
currently on the run, had contacted her husband, who was not at home at the
time of the quarrel, on phone and reported the matter to him.

the deceased and an argument ensued between both men.
An eyewitness further disclosed that the argument soon
degenerated into a fight and Orochendo was alleged to have pushed Ngbobile, who
slumped and died.
The eyewitness added that the suspect‘s wife reportedly fled
with her children, when she learned of Ngbobile’s death.
Lagos State Police Command spokesman, Ken Nwosu, while

Orochendo, while Ngbobile was taken to a private hospital, where he was
confirmed dead.
Nwosu added that the case had been transferred to the
