TBS, the place where the incident occured.
Doctors
at the Lagos Island General Hospital are battling to save the life of a
34-year-old man, identified only as Owuye, whose stomach was ripped
open on New Year’s Eve.
According to eyewitnesses, the victim
and an elderly man, identified simply as Baba, were involved in a fight
over a married woman.
Our correspondent, who visited Tafawa
Balewa Square, where the incident took place, learnt that Owuye’s
intestines popped out, causing him to lose a lot of blood.
An eyewitness, who identified himself as Soji, said Owuye was the first to attack the elderly man.
He said both the victim and the elderly man were both jobless people who usually sleep in buses at TBS.
He said, “In the afternoon, we were
arranging chairs at TBS for a church, which was planning to hold a watch
night service, when we saw the both of them fighting.
