“How do I pay my children’s school fees, where do I live? My husband is the only one helping me… Please help me, help me,” she was seen crying.

Dave, a sound Engineer in Lagos said to be on his way to an event at Admiralty area of Lekki. He on the same motorbike (Okada) with a keyboardist named Philip.

They were said to have had an argument with the bike man, an Hausa man over N100 which resulted in a fight.
