A 22-year-old male tailoring apprentice, Hakeem Mujib, has been beaten to death by some yet-to-be-identified suspects in Lagos State.
An unconfirmed report said the apprentice was beaten to death over alleged theft, while some people claimed Mujib was killed for being a spy at the Obadina area of Lagos Island.
The apprentice was alleged to have gone to a two-storey building on Obadina Street, off Obe Street, Lagos Island, to rest with his friend, identified simply as Kehinde, at about 2 a.m. on Sunday, September 10, 2023, while returning from an errand on which he was sent by his boss.
