The two suspects in connection with Imoh’s death have been arrested
Grace, the widow of David Imoh, a 37-year-old sound engineer killed by Hausa Okada riders in Lagos State, has described how her husband was killed while attempting to settle a dispute between two friends and his killers.
Grace claims her husband was falsely accused of being a ritualist and Yahoo Boy before being killed.
“They didn’t just beat him, they stabbed and burnt him to death,” the mother of two broke down in tears.
“He was burnt as if he is a robber.
“They have taken my husband away from me because of N100. This is not good,” she added.
The two suspects in connection with Imoh’s death have been arrested, according to The Punch.
The late Imoh, who was popularly called Dave Sound, had an aged mother, a five-year-old boy and another One-year and five-month-old baby.
She identified the two other friends of her late husband involved in the fight as band members of D’Banj and Phyno.
The widow stated that, “My husband went to work on May 10, I was called on May 13 by one of his friends that we lost him.
“He said his family should come to the Maroko police station. So my relatives and his own went there.
“The police told them that my husband and his friend climbed the Aboki (Hausa man)’s bike, and they had an argument over N100.
“In the process, one of the Okada guys was hit and he fell down so they started beating them up.
“My husband was beaten and they were shouting that he is a ritualist and a Yahoo Boy.
“After being beaten, he was burnt to death.”

Grace, on the other hand, explained that the story told by one of Imoh’s acquaintances convinced her that her late husband was called to resolve the N100 balance dispute when he was killed.
“They gave the motorcyclist N500 and were to get a balance of N100 but the bike man said he didn’t have change.
“They told him to take N300 but he refused and a fight broke out.
“My husband was invited to intervene in the issue. David intervened because of N100 and was killed.
“He came outside trying to intervene but when they saw that the motorcyclists were overpowering them, they had to run back inside the bar but the bar manager pushed them out.
“He denied knowing them, David tried hiding but an Hausa lady exposed him.”
Grace, who is a civil servant and a Post Graduate Diploma holder, urged the Lagos State Government to ensure justice in the matter.
“All because he wanted to help settle a dispute, he was killed.
“They have taken away my world. Please Lagos Government, Governor Sanwo-Olu, my Head of Service, Muri Okunola, and others help me, I cry for justice and for the welfare of my children.
“Please come to my rescue. I’m helpless.
“How do I take care of these kids. I wanted to pursue my Master’s and get my COREN certification as an engineer.
“Those were his plans for me. My husband is the only one helping me,” she added.
