At about 2am on Sunday, November 6,
21-year-old Solomon Odekunle was seen stumbling out of a popular
hangout, Piper’s Bar and Grill, in Ottawa, Canada, with blood gushing
out of his neck.
Eyewitnesses interviewed by the police
said few steps away, he collapsed
on Coventry Road. He was later
pronounced dead in the hospital.
According to Ottawa’s CBC News,
Solomon, who was stabbed by a suspect, who has been identified as
27-year-old Joe Ndikuriyo, was the 17th victim of homicide in Ottawa
since the beginning of 2016.
Even though the police in Ottawa have
said they were still piecing together the timeline of events that led to
the victim’s death, news reports suggest that he was stabbed during a
fight between Ndikuriyo and another individual over a woman.
The victim, whose father is a pastor of
the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Lagos according to residents of
their neighbourhood in Fagba, Lagos, was admitted to the University of
Ottawa in 2012 to study Economics.
