Oyo Boxer, 25, Stabbed to Death by Motorcyclist Over Transport Fare Dispute

A 25-year-old amateur boxer identified as Kehinde, popularly known as KBlaq, has been stabbed to death by a commercial motorcyclist following a disagreement over transport fare at Olodo Garage in Lagelu Local Government Area of Oyo State.

The incident reportedly occurred after the boxer and the motorcyclist disagreed over payment of an agreed fare, triggering a heated argument that eventually escalated into a physical confrontation.

An eyewitness said the disagreement started after Kehinde allegedly failed to honour an agreement reached with the rider over the transport fare.

The argument reportedly became violent when the motorcyclist allegedly brought out a sharp object and stabbed the boxer during the confrontation.

Kehinde sustained serious injuries and later died following the attack.

The killing has heightened tension around Olodo Garage, with commercial motorcyclists reportedly withdrawing their services amid fears of possible reprisal attacks.

The withdrawal has disrupted transportation in the area, forcing commuters to trek considerable distances to their destinations. Traders and other residents have also been affected by the disruption to daily commercial activities.

Confirming the incident in a telephone conversation with a correspondent, the Oyo State Police Public Relations Officer, Ayanlade Olayinka, said the matter was under investigation.
