When they got to the house, the two<br/>of them went inside a room to bring out the<br/>air conditioner, and then they started haggling<br/>over the price.

I met<br/>him that morning at the Alaba market, and<br/>asked him to buy one of my appliances: an<br/>air conditioner. He actually looked like a cart<br/>pusher. When we got home, we both went in<br/>to remove the product, and we brought it<br/>outside for negotiation. As we continued, he<br/>said he would pay less than N5, 000. I<br/>replied that he should assist me to return it<br/>to where we took it from, but he refused. In<br/>the process, we started fighting. He even<br/>asked me to pay him for helping me bring it<br/>out. I was mad, and I hit his belly with a<br/>plank. When I realised he had fainted, I tied<br/>him with a rope and dragged him into a<br/>corner. I also fled the house.”<br/>It was one of Ikonne’s co-tenants who noticed<br/>Yaya’s tied up corpse, raised an alarm, and<br/>reported the case to the Okokomaiko police<br/>station.<br/>Source: Punch
