His sister in law @OpeTheKing tweeted the real story on Sunday May 15, 2022..
''This is the real story leading to #justicefordavesound Because, I'm seeing some comments about my brother-in-law being a Yahoo boy/ritualist and it's really breaking my heart. Yes, Uncle David was killed over N100... this is what really happened .......
The bike man involved carried two passengers to drop near (Beer Barn) Admiralty way, Lekki Phase 1. Uncle David was NOT one of these passengers. These guys were some of the musicians that came to work at Beer Barn.
”Bike man was supposed to collect N400, the guys gave him N500.
”Bike man said he didn’t have N100 change. The two guys didn’t have too. So they gave the bike man N300 assuring him that they are regulars on the street and will balance him whenever they see. The men turned to leave and the bike man grabbed one of the guy’s shirt, tearing it in the process. The guy whose shirt the bike man tore, turned and punched the bike man which resulted into the bike man fainting/knocked out of consciousness.

The guy whose shirt the bike man tore, turned and punched the bike man which resulted into the bike man fainting/knocked out of consciousness.
”All these while, Uncle David was inside Beer Barn. It was when people around (including the bike man’s tribesmen) started dragging these two guys to wake up the bike man, that was when Uncle David was called in. My brother-in-law came to separate fight o.
”Prior to this, around last week, someone had slumped and died…People had suspected foul play. Saying the incident was linked to guys on a bike who could possibly be yahoo boys. So when this incident involving the bike man occurred, people automatically assumed that yahoo boys are at play again.
”When Uncle David saw that there was an angry mob, and the situation had been blown out of proportion and accusations were flying, he ran and hid himself.
”A woman who didn’t know the origin of the whole issue, found Uncle David hiding and directed the mob to where he was, accusing him of being a ritualist. They used stone to break his head. They beat him. Stripped him naked and eventually set him on fire.
”This is what happened. This is the truth. Uncle David was a reputable human being. He wasn’t dragging N100 with a bike man. He was called in to separate the fight.
”The two guys involved were beaten almost to death and are now in critical condition. Please let’s say No to jungle justice. Anyone who calls my brother-in-law a ritualist again will meet with a fate 10x worse. Don’t throw accusations without evidence. If you don’t know the whole story, don’t intervene. No one’s life is in your hand.
”You have no right to slap, hit, or maim someone even if you caught them in a crime. Drag them to the police! Why would you kill someone?! Why should one of the kindest souls die based on sheer savagery, animalistic tendencies, and illiterate paranoia? I am sad.
”His wife, kids, family, friends, colleagues…everyone is mourning and heartbroken because some people chose to be wicked and animals. Northern men made up most of this angry mob. Now their bike man is alive and well,’’
''So far, 15 people have been arrested including the unfortunate woman who showed the mob where my brother-in-law was hiding. If there are anymore updates, I'll let y'all know.''
*OMG he was killed for nothing!!!.....Bike men should be removed from the streets, if you cannot afford to work with Keke Napep then dont work.... How can this happen in Lagos?
The govt should ban them indefinitely. Those involved should be arrested.
ReplyDeleteAboki!!!
DeleteFear aboki
Don’t even argue with them, just give them and keep walking away.
My brother gisted me the story yesterday. The way those aboki boys came from nowhere was unbelievable.
That’s how one brushed my car, I dint even come out, I just kept driving.
This death could have been avoided in plenty ways.
Push up (original)
#notomobjustice
DeleteStella it's not about bike men, is the horrible mentality. When they ban biking, it's the same set of pple dat would take up keke riding na or any other hustle but would still exist around us. May God have mercy on our nation, no more value for human life. RIP to the Young man
DeleteOh my God!!!!!!! He died just like that????? This is so sad... Reasons why i no dey near where them fight.
ReplyDeletemay his soul RIP.
Bbjac
Omo. Someone was abusing those that japa to more developed countries to face racism the other day. which one come worse? at least abroad justice will be served n jungle justice is prevented. the possibility an innocent person to be killed for no just reason in naija is just so rampant
DeleteEVERYDAY IN NIGERIA, WE ARE WALKING THROUGH THE VALLEY OF SHADOW OF DEATH...If you mange to escape this evil police at checkpoints, you MUST be watchful about evil men and the religious fanatics . People have lost their mind in this country and the devil is at work..RIP to our bro and our sis debi.. We are all living in a twilight zone in this country.. Be vigilant and avoid conflicts at all cost..We are living with ANIMALS that don't think....If you are learned, don't argue, talk or fight with fool.. Sadly, if we have more animals living amongst us than human beings, it makes this country a _____________?
Delete1) House
2) Village
3) ZOO
4) Church
Which yeye racism! Racism is of the mind
DeleteWhere is that BV who said jungle justice is sometimes necessary? Shebi if you were there, they would have told you he's a ritualist and you would have joined them in lighting the match abi?
ReplyDeleteJungle justice is never necessary. Call the police, that's a far better option.
May his soul rest in peace, this is truly sad.
Na so my husband was dragging#50 naira with bike Mallam ooo. The money you are much more than. If aboki chuk knife for your belly, what will you tell your family?. The bike man even left the whole money for this man and go. I was so angry with this man. Why didn't you give the bike man the 200. Is it because he didn't tell you price 200# others told you before you enter? Now you want to cheat him cos una no talk price. Last last, he said l am insulting and disrespectful
DeleteThat’s how my sister wanted to buy fuel (black market) from them, they started arguing who would be the one to sell to her
DeleteNext thing the bigger one poured his fuel on the smaller one and wanted to set him ablaze… she was even begging them to stop fighting, that she will buy the two, they refused o.
The bigger one kept looking for (wuta) light to set his own fellow brother on fire.
One man just shouted at her to get her car out of there, before they set her ablaze too.
Wo they can kill you for nothing.
You see these bastard abokis, may God help us. Shame to all who allowed this to happen. May we never be unfortunate or be a victim Amen.
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine what the families are going through.
That woman they arrested, should suffer dearly
OMG! What a way to die. May his soul rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteJungle justice is a no no. Reminds me of ALUU4.
ReplyDeleteThis is such an unfortunate one. They killed an innocent man.
ReplyDeleteOMG!💔💔💔💔
ReplyDeleteMay his soul rest in peace
Shebi point and kill is busy shinning teeth while all these bikes are coming in hundreds from the north.Na from clap he go enter dance.
ReplyDeleteCan we just separate and have southern and northern Nigeria as two different countries like the south and North America.
Watch out for aboki meruwa,bikes and security guards oo.
Rest in peace Mr David,you were q victim of a bad nation.😢😢😢
This is too sad. I’m just tired of the recent happenings.
ReplyDeleteAll those involved should fir same way.
No wonder we were brought never to look in the direction where there's an ongoing fight. Don't be spectator.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't interest me till this day to be in a gathering of onlookers watching a fight go down.
RIP to the innocent man.
Please that woman who raised false alarm should be imprisoned.
I remember one time in lagos, those fadeyi area boys set a "one chance" driver ablaze. The man was running with serious fire on his body. One are boy ran after him, fell him down and used a cutlass to cut off the man's head. Everyone there, including children, were watching and jubilating. Na wa.
DeleteThis is sad. Unnecessary killing everywhere, God have mercy.
ReplyDeleteIts a crazy world out there ,this young man death is so painful.
ReplyDeleteBlack Slimzy
Rip, but the story doesn’t add up!… “he was called to separate fight”, then he was hiding??
ReplyDeleteIt’s dangerous to gather when people are fighting!
Why can’t you add it up?
DeleteRead the 6th paragraph SLOWLY.
DeleteAdd up to the part where she said he realized that the mob was made up of more abokis. As an intelligent man, he knew it was going to get out of hand hence the reason he hid but that witch of a woman was used to cut short his youth. I hope she is sentenced accordingly for being an accessory to murder because she literally championed it….. evil woman.
DeleteSo painful, I pity his family.
ReplyDelete#SAYNOTOJUNGLEJUSTICE
Rip , Whst a painful dead.
ReplyDeleteMy tire is tired of this country
Rest in peace
ReplyDeleteThey almost killed a guy in my street yesterday for stealing handset, he walked into a bathing salon saw the barber sleeping and grabbed his phone immediately he walked out the barber stoodup and notice his phone was gone and raised alerm cos he saw the guy
The pursued him got hold of him and gave him beating of his life , worst of was some were hiring his head with stones
The guy saw sage when he became lifeless everyone left him, barber went to call police, police said he should take him to hospital
Barber closed his shop and left
He laid on the ground for more than 2 hours before unlookers recognize him and called his people to come carry him
Only God knows whether he is alive as I type
Sometimes jungle justice is not the best abeg
💔
ReplyDeleteI cried so much last night and I'm still crying in my heart. 😭😭😭
ReplyDeleteWhat a sad way to die 😢
ReplyDeleteJust like that💔💔
May God rest his soul
So sad..
ReplyDeleteMay his soul rest in peace
If not for political sentiments, bikes and keeping should be banned.Nigeria should have an organised bus services with well trained and mannered drivers not touts and fulani/hausa illiterates.
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad. There should be a law. Anyone that kills should be killed immediately. If you are agrieved, report to the nearest authority. Why take laws into your own hands. Bike men have been killing and going free and now it seems like a way of life for them
ReplyDeleteJungle justice is wrong o
ReplyDeleteJungle justice has claimed so many innocent lives. Say no to jungle justice
ReplyDeleteits the height of inhumanity in this country for me, how can u knack stick and burn people alive without feeling bad at all? Even if the person killed someone, an eye for an eye will render the whole community blind. the injustice and insecurities in the country is very bad and disheartening.
ReplyDeleteI have decided never to enter bike again!! I can't support business of killers. I'll walk the distance if it's too close for uber
ReplyDeleteWhy drag N100 with okada man to degenerate to this gracias when tension and stress are high everywhere?
