A 34-year-old man, Monday Chukwu, has stabbed his friend, Kefa Ofando, 30, to death in Akintola village in Odigbo Local Government Area of Ondo State over a debt of N2,000.00.
The incident which led to pandemonium in the community happened because Chuckwu was owed 2,000.00 by his friend and alleged refusal of the late Ofando to pay.
The Commissioner of Po – lice in the state, Mr Abayomi Oladipo, said the investigation showed that Chukwu had gone to ask for the money he lent the deceased, and there was a hot argument between them.
