Unknown suspected armed robber was fatally injured while attempting to rob a local named Victor at Olugboso in the Agege district of Lagos State.
The incident reportedly took place on August 20 after the suspect broke into Victor’s residence at midnight and tried to steal him of his possessions using a toy gun, according to reports that surfaced on Sunday.
Victor challenged the man and got into a battle with him even though he could tell the gun was not real. The armed thug attacked Victor while reaching for a pair of scissors in his pocket.
It was discovered that some co-tenants were drawn to the scene by the sound of the struggle.
