One Ubani Usman has been rammed to death by a violent cow in Lagos state.
The incident reportedly happened at an abattoir located in Agege Area of state at about 7:40pm on Wednesday.
The 30-year-old deceased was said to have been headbutted by the cow after it broke loose from the abattoir.
An eyewitness disclosed that all efforts by the police who stormed the abattoir to arrest the killer cow yielded no result and that butchers in the area refused to provide the cow for arrest.
The source, who chose to speak anonymously for fear of victimisation, said the deceased victim was immediately rushed down to the general hospital in the area for medical attention before he was later pronounced dead by a doctor on duty.
“The man was standing not far from the abattoir when the incident happened. The cow broke loose, and before we knew it, it had rammed the man down. We took the victim to the general hospital in the area, but he was later confirmed dead by a doctor.
“When the policemen came to arrest the ram and the owners, the people in the abattoir were not helpful at all. So no arrest has been made.” Punch quoted the source as saying.
