Two suspected area boys have died after a disagreement over how to share money escalated into a knife fight in the Ogunpa area of Ibadan, Oyo State.
The incident reportedly occurred on Monday when the two men clashed over the sharing formula for money given to them, with the argument degenerating into a fatal confrontation.
According to reports, one of the men stabbed the other in the neck, killing him at the scene, while the second sustained a stab wound to his right wrist.
The injured man was rushed to a nearby hospital but reportedly died from excessive blood loss before receiving adequate medical attention.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Olayinka Ayanlade, confirmed the incident on Tuesday, saying an investigation had been launched to establish the circumstances surrounding the deaths.
