A family has been left bereaved as their son a fresh graduate was stabbed to death by unknown assilants.
Muhammed Adamu, a 26-year-old graduate of Federal Polytechnic,was found dead and his body subsequently dumped by on Ijora Road, in the Apapa area of Lagos.
His father , Mr. Sardauna Adamu, narrates his recollection of events:
“On Sunday, he received a text message that they should meet at a hotel in FESTAC Town for an after-party. He said the party was organised for just members of staff of the company.
“He left the house around 4pm and that was the last time I saw my son alive.”
Sardauna said when Muhammed did not come home, he went to his office on Association Avenue, Ilupeju, Lagos, and was told that his bosses had also been wondering why he had not resumed for work.
His friends, who attended the party, were however said to have overheard the deceased receiving a call around 7pm at the Sunday party to meet with someone at Suru Alaba.
Sardauna said, “We went to Alaba Suru and searched, but we didn’t find him.
“So, we reported at the Layeni Police Station which was close to the place. They told me they saw his corpse on the road and they had taken him to the mortuary.
“I want the police to make a thorough investigation into my son’s killing. I believe some people killed him and took his corpse to Suru Alaba to make it look like he was killed there.
“He was a gentle and hardworking son who had been preparing for his NYSC when these wicked people took him somewhere and killed him.”
A member of the company, who where he worked said the late engineering graduate had been persuaded not to leave the party on the night of the incident, but he refused.
“Even the bride, who works in the company and in whose honour the party was held, asked him if he was going to see a girl or a man, but he didn’t answer.
“He just said he had to leave the party because the call was urgent,” the source said.
