Ogundele
Maybe Baba-obo as Abass was fondly called would have been alive today if premonition as warned him that evening that going to the Mallam shop to buy anything would cost him his life.
The story had it that Abass 34, a father of one and a tricycle driver(Keke- Mawa) went to purchase some stuff from the Mallam who had a kiosk at Disi Adegun by Kadiri street, Agege and paid #500 and forgot to collect his change from the man.
As he was going home he met a friend on the way who ask him to go back and buy something for him, he said no and wanted to give the friend some money and when he dipped his hand into his pockets he realized that he had forgotten to collect his balance from the Mallam so he went back there.
The Aboki told him he had given him his balance so from there a heated argument ensued, the mallam out of annoyance gave Abass #350 and tell him to get lost that he always know him to be a thief, on hearing the insul Abass got angry started hitting on the Kiosk door which made the Aborki to come out for a fight.
Abass according to report bit the Mallam mercilessly and got a knife stab on the chest for a reward. Abass was rushed to the hospital by friends and residents but died before he could even get there. As at the time this report came, the youths in the area have already demolished the Mallam's kiosk and the Aborki has already become a resident at Kirikiri prison.
The Mallam kiosk was well known in the area as a place where young men especially northerners always go to get something to "shark" them. It was always surrounded with water sellers and shoe-menders.
