Earlier this week (HERE), we brought you the story of how a man stabbed two brothers (twins), killing one of them in process just because their sister failed to return his love. New details and photo of the 23 year old twins, have now surfaced online.
in a kiosk which doubles as the security post and petty trading store
used by the security guard employed to man the street gate in front of
the Megwas’ house when the tragic incident occurred.
“My boys – the twins – were
standing on the veranda watching the goings on on the street and at the
girl walking out of the house around 10.30pm.
“When the girl got to the guard’s kiosk,
about three boys, who were standing around the area, started harassing
and groping her. She raised the alarm and I had to rush downstairs to
challenge the boys, just to make them stop.
“As I rushed downstairs, one of my twin
boys followed me. I opened the gate and noticed that the boys were still
standing by. I asked them simply why they were harassing the girl and
one of them challenged me for asking them such question.
“They started charging towards us,
becoming aggressive, so, I pushed my son back. As he was trying to move
back, he fell and got up again. At that point, his brother had come
downstairs to ask what was happening.”
while this ruckus went on, some of the friends of the three young men
came to the scene. Some of them were said to have raced to a nearby bear
parlour and picked bottles of beer, which they brought to the scene,
ready to do battle with their weapons.
soon as he saw the men racing out of the street gate in an aggressive
manner, he shouted to the street’s gateman to lock the gate, which he
failed to do.
“As we retreated, they seemed to be
surrounding us and before I knew what was happening, the girl living
with me screamed. She shouted that Elvis had been stabbed. At that
point, I rushed to my son, who was already bleeding heavily from his
neck. Lewis was also stabbed in the shoulder and stomach.
The girl removed her wrapper and used it
to cauterise the gushing blood. I also removed my singlet and added it
to it. I was just concerned about the welfare of my children. Even the
girl sustained minor stab injury in her stomach.”

started another round of sobbing when he told our correspondent how
Lewis asked everybody who visited him in his hospital about his twin.
“Everybody keeps telling him that Lewis is fine and that he would see him soon,” he said.
“The twins are my inspiration. They are
so focused that they always told me not to worry that through their own
businesses, they would be able to pay their own school fees. They are
very entrepreneurial. The only reason they enrolled at the Open
University was to be able to undertake their own business,” the grieving
father said.
twins were stabbed by one Alex Onuora, who has since fled though the
police at the Ikotun division have taken into custody members of his
family. Some other suspects involved in the attack have also been
arrested.
The deceased’s family explained that the
security man who failed to lock the gate of the street during the
attack had gone into hiding. They said even though the security rule of
the street was that he should have locked the gate by 10pm, he failed to
do this, allowing the hoodlums’ incursion into the scene of the attack
