A peacemaker, Aminu Yusuf, has been stabbed to death following a scuffle between two customers in a bar around Volks, in the Ojo Local Government Area of Lagos State.
Punch Metro gathered that one Jones Ogelejeme and a yet-to-be identified man were drinking at the bar when an argument ensued between the two men.

Ogelejeme, 29, was said to have thought he wanted to join forces with his opponent, as he allegedly used a sharp object to stab Yusuf in the neck.
Some good Samaritans at the bar reportedly rushed him to a hospital, where he was confirmed dead.

Punch correspondent learnt that the case was transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Yaba, for discreet investigation.
