Suspected Soldier Arrested After Allegedly Stabbing Motorcyclist In Lagos Bar

A corporal serving in the Nigerian Army, whose identity remains undisclosed, allegedly stabbed a commercial motorcyclist known as Saheed Isa with a knife at a lounge in Itamaga, Ikorodu, Lagos State. The incident reportedly took place on April 13 around 3:00 p.m. According to sources, the soldier purportedly stabbed Isa following a disagreement.

A police source from the division, speaking on condition of anonymity, disclosed that the soldier, attached to the 159 Battalion in Yobe State, used a gun-like jack knife to inflict a wound on the upper left side of Isa’s stomach during the altercation at the bar.

The victim sustained serious injuries and was promptly taken to the hospital for medical attention by detectives from the division. He is currently receiving treatment and is said to be responding positively.

Confirming the incident, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hudeyin, stated that the suspect had been apprehended, and investigations were ongoing.

This incident recalls a similar case reported by BUSHRADIOGIST in 2023, where a soldier named Tope Kazeem, attached to the 32 Artillery Brigade of the Nigerian Army in Akure, was arrested for allegedly stabbing one Bunmi Omodele in Akure.

The suspect is now in police custody as investigations into the recent stabbing incident continue.
