Disgruntled railway worker leads gang to stab boss in Ogun
A staff of the Nigerian Railway Corporation, Eze Ejike was left battling for his life after he was attacked at his residence by a disgruntled staff.
Ejike was attacked by one Kehinde Adeoye and his gang around 6pm last Friday.
Kehinde led his friends to his boss’ residence at Oposuru area of Ogun state because he hated that he was posted to a railway terminus, Kajola Railway Terminus, in the Ifo Local Government Area of the state.
The 27-year-old in charge of ticket sales wanted to remain at the terminus where he reportedly realised about N3,000 from ticket racketeering on a daily basis.
During the attack, a resident was reportedly killed by one of the gang members, Kayode Johnson.
Kehinde and Johnson were arrested by a mob.
“Kehinde (Adeoye) is my childhood friend. He told me that his boss orchestrated his posting to where he did not like and begged me and Chibuzor to help beat him up. While we were attacking him at a junction, he shouted. Some people around the area responded and chased us,” Johnson said.
“One of them stopped me from escaping. He stabbed me in the finger. I collected the knife from him and stabbed him in the chest. I was held by the crowd and beaten up.”
Another accomplice, Chibuzor, is said to be at large.
The arrested suspects have been transferred to the Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Eleweran, Abeokuta.
