A young man identified as Godstime Oke has reportedly killed his friend and roommate, Gaga Allia over N300 electricity bill in Okumagba layout, Warri, Delta State.
It was gathered that at about 10 pm after the 2022 FIFA World Cup match on Wednesday, December 14, Godstime Oke and Gaga Allia got into a fight which led to Godstime allegedly stabbing Gaga in the neck with a broken bottle.
It was learnt that both Oke and Allia, said to be friends, were residing in a one-room apartment in the house.
Oke was the one collecting the electricity bill from the entire tenants in the compound for easy remittance to the authorities.
However, while Oke was not around, one of the tenants in the compound reportedly paid his N300 due to his friend Allia.
But when Oke returned home and asked Allia to give him the money paid by the other tenant, Allia was said to have refused.
Consequently, a fight erupted between the duo in the course of which Oke reportedly used a broken bottle to stab Allia in the neck region.
Allia eventually bled to death as a result of the severity of the injury.
Seeing the veracity of his action, Oke reportedly took to his heels as he narrowly escaped being lynched by an irate mob.
