Peace maker beaten to death while trying to settle dispute between two men

A peace maker identified as Yinka
Adewoyin, was reportedly beaten to
death , while trying to make peace
between two warring parties.

The Nation reports that the incident
happened on Thursday, when 31-year-
old Adewoyin was on his way back from
a beer joint with his friends. It was
gathered that he tried making peace
between Kazeem aka Down gear, Mopo
and an elderly mechanic Mukaila Lasisi,
they were assaulting.

Kazeem reportedly approached Lasisi
who was working on a truck parked
along the road, to get it off the road, a
request Lasisi turned down on the
grounds that he was not the owner of
the vehicle. Lasisi’s response got
Kazeem angry, who pounced on him to
beat him up. It was at this point that
Adewoyin, who was passing by
intervened and pleaded with Kazeem
and his friend, Mopo to leave Lasisi
alone.

The duo however queried Adewoyin’s
audacity to intervene and beat him
mercilessly till he fell down, hit his head
on the ground and passed into a coma.
His assailants fled after the incident, as
Adewoyin was taken to a nearby private
hospital by bystanders. He was said to
have died at the hospital three days
after he was admitted.

The deceased was described by one of
his former trainees, Tosin, as humble
and respectful. He said: “Throughout
my stay with him as apprentice, he did
not fight with anyone. I was therefore
shocked when I was told on the
telephone that he was killed during a
scuffle.”
