Adeleke Awosiga has been murdered for asking a girl to dance with him at a birthday party in Isheri area of Lagos state.

A witness said trouble started after Awosiga approached Rashida Oponmiga, and requested to have a dance with her.

The lady, however, declined.

The lady in question is the girlfriend of the celebrant, Anu Olokodana, aka ‘T-Fire’ and known as a cultist.

His request apparently annoyed the cult members who had been urging him to join them and had tagged him an enemy after he refused.

“One of the cult members, Iyanu Liasu, slapped Awosiga for asking Rashida for a dance. This led to a fight between Liasu and Awosiga,” the witness said.

When the uproar was getting too noisy, the hotel management ordered everyone out of its vicinity. When Awosiga was sent out of the hotel along with his friends, they moved towards the swimming pool area.

This was where Awosiga was killed and his body dumped inside the pool.

Awosiga's parents, filled with grief, have asked that justice be done.
