Relatives of the victim, taking him away
There
was a mild disturbance on Wednesday at Herbert Macaulay Way, Central
Business District, Abuja, after a food seller stabbed a boy over a N100
debt.
Many people in the area said the stabbing eventually led to the boy’s death.
The incident led to the burning of a BMW
car and it took the efforts of policemen and soldiers guarding the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation to prevent a breakdown of law
and order in the area.
Trouble started when the woman, whose
name could not be immediately ascertained, allegedly accosted the boy,
simply identified as Nuhu over the debt. An argument was said to have
ensued and the woman, in a fit of anger, stabbed the boy in the stomach
with a knife.
