The herbalists, who are siblings, were said to have attacked Wasiu and his friend with knives for confronting them after they allegedly stripped Wasiu’s wife.
The incident, Punch reports, occurred at about 7pm on Owonikoko Street last Tuesday.
It was learnt that on the day, a teenage girl, Kabirat, who is the younger sister of the herbalists, had come to Wasiu's wife, Mutiat’s house, and the woman had scolded her for failing to greet the people she (Kabirat) met in the house.
Kabirat was said to have left the place in anger.
It was gathered that the herbalists, Adam and Quadri, came some minutes later to Mutiat’s house, and started a quarrel, during which they allegedly stripped the woman and beat her up.
Neighbours were said to have tried to mediate, but the herbalists allegedly threatened to beat anyone who intervened with charms.
38yrs old Wasiu and his friend, Aderinto, a welder, reportedly came back from their workplaces in Ebute-Meta area of Lagos and met distraught Mutiat at home.
The two were said to have headed for the herbalists’ house after they were told of what transpired between Mutiat and the herbalists.
It was said that on getting to house, matters degenerated, which led to the herbalists stabbing Wasiu and Aderinto to death.
Neighbours reported the incident at the Agbado Police Division. The herbalists were subsequently arrested and detained.
When Punch visited the area on Monday, Mutiat said everybody scolded Kabirat for failing to greet anyone, but she went to her house to tell her brothers another story.
Mutiat said the suspects stabbed her husband Wasiu and his friend to death with poisonous knives.
She said, “There was no fight on that Tuesday. The girl came to our house and ignored everybody. People in the house scolded her for it.
“When the girl left, her brothers came some minutes later. They are herbalists. Their father is also a native doctor. They came with charms and knives. They beat me up. They stripped me. Neighbours tried to restrain them, but they threatened them.
“When my husband and his friend came back from work, he was angry and he went to their house. They attacked him and his friend with knives. They were both stabbed to death.”
There was no one at the herbalists apartment as both men had been moved from the Agbado division to the Ogun State Police Command headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta.
The teenage girl, Kabirat, had also reportedly fled the area.
Ogun State acting Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the arrest.
