Deji LamboThe family of a security guard, James Emmanuel, has been thrown into mourning after he died from injuries he sustained when a cab driver, Habeeb Quadri, allegedly brutalised him while he was settling a dispute in the Bode Thomas area of Surulere, Lagos State. When PUNCH Metro visited James’ house on Olatunde Onimole Street in Aguda, his grandchild, Tolani, said he died after the attack, adding that the cab driver absconded after perpetrating the crime. So, the driver started demanding for money and this led into an argument and in the process, the driver started assaulting the ladies. “The ladies ended up paying N100, but the driver insisted on the N150 he initially charged; my father appealed to him to go and convey other passengers. “He was quickly rushed to a hospital in Bode Thomas, but he was rejected; several other hospitals rejected him till he died on Monday morning at home.
