Graphic pic: Trader kills man for "under-pricing" his goods

A trader at Alaba International Market Ojo, Lawrence Ikonne has been arrested for allegedly killing a buyer, Isa Yaya over the price of his secondhand air conditioner.

According to reports, the incident happened at Ikonne’s house at Afromedia Estate, Okokomaiko, Lagos where Ikonne had invited Yaya to. When they got to the house, the two of them went inside a room to bring out the air conditioner, and then they started haggling over the price. Yaya allegedly insisted on buying the air conditioner below N5, 000- a price which did not go down well with Ikonne. It resulted into a fight and Ikonne allegedly hit Yaya with a plank resulting in his death...


 
During interrogation, the suspect said:
“I had not met the young man before. I met him that morning at the Alaba market, and asked him to buy one of my appliances: an air conditioner. He actually looked like a cart pusher. When we got home, we both went in to remove the product, and we brought it outside for negotiation. As we continued, he said he would pay less than N5, 000. I replied that he should assist me to return it to where we took it from, but he refused. In the process, we started fighting. He even asked me to pay him for helping me bring it out. I was mad, and I hit his belly with a plank. When I realised he had fainted, I tied him with a rope and dragged him into a corner. I also fled the house.” 
It was one of Ikonne’s co-tenants who noticed Yaya’s tied up corpse, raised an alarm, and reported the case to the Okokomaiko police station.

  11. Honestly i am not tribalistic, but Igbo traders be it spare part dealers etc are too anxious to sell and always looking to cheat you, also they get so angry when u price their stuff or leave them after pricing that they begin to insult you or even try to plan against you in that market. We are all hustlers looking for money but those guys need to soft pedal a bit biko. They dont have church mind whatsoever.

  19. @ Linda well done for the job u doing but I will like to point out to u to always get correct and adequate picture of a place, or possibly a location close to the place of incidents instead of placing just any picture. Like the above picture now is a picture is ogunpa market in ibadan with femi Johnson building showing to the left and cocoa house to the far right. So it's no alaba market. Many tnxs

  30. From my own opinion, there is more to this. Becos d man is died, he cannot talk his own side of d story. He would ve brought d item out to Alaba where he will meet different buyers to compare price. By d way, why tied d man? He must ve wanted to carry him to smwhere..... December is fast approaching and i am smelling ritual, ndi ogwu ego!
