Four persons in connection with the murder of David Sunday, a sound engineer in Lekki over N100 transport fare, have arrested by the Lagos State police command.
Naija News reports that David Sunday and his friends on May 12, were assaulted by a group of commercial motorcyclists popularly known as Okada riders.
Sunday was brutalized and later burnt to death by the mob.
The Police spokesman in Lagos, Benjamin Hundeyin, said four suspects have been arrested and an investigation is underway.
“Four persons have been arrested and there is a manhunt ongoing for the fifth person; investigation is ongoing,” Mr Benjamin told People Gazette by telephone on Sunday.
It would be recalled that a social media user, via the Twitter handle, @thecoloredpen, revealed that a mob attacked a group of musicians in Lekki, along Admiralty road on Thursday evening.
According to her, the sound producer and his friend who mounted the motorcycle had a heated argument with the Okada rider, which led other riders to support their colleague, pouncing on Sunday and his friends, killing Sunday while the others became unconscious.
She said Sunday’s friends, Frank (saxophonist) and Philip (keyboardist) are currently receiving medical treatment in the hospital.
The incident coincided with the Sokoto mob attack against Deborah Emmanuel, who was lynched by fellow students of Shehu Shagari College of Education, Wamako.
The mob accused Samuel, a Christian, of denigrating Prophet Muhammad.
Samuel was violently stoned to death and set ablaze, sparking local international outrage that the government and security agencies and currently grappling with.
