An amateur boxer known as Kehinde, or KBlaq, has been killed during a street fight at Olodo Garage in Ibadan, Oyo State.

PUNCH Metro learned on Monday that this incident happened on Sunday. It has caused anger among social media users, who are calling for justice for Kehinde.

Reports online say that Kehinde was not part of the fight. The suspect reportedly came in after the fight was over and stabbed him in the neck with a broken bottle.

Kehinde, described by friends as a boxer, is said to have died from his injuries.

Many social media users were shocked by the killing. Some claimed the suspect was not involved in the initial fight.

An X user, @MVKAY2, said, "The person who stabbed him was not even involved in the fight, and they had stopped fighting already. Just one of those vile men wey the matter no concern came from nowhere and stabbed him.

"Before una start dropping different narratives, I wish he was with Z second. I wish he was never there."

Another user, @omononaolapo, commented, "Funny enough, this guy that stabbed him was not even among those that they were fighting."

@Tunde, who called Kehinde his brother, wrote, "Na my brother o. Ajeh. Olodo bike men can be very mean sometimes, and they were all there watching them fight."

Another user, @Fela, shared, "This was why I made this tweet earlier today. This boxer is my younger brother’s friend. I got to church yesterday and my brother told me someone killed his friend. I was shocked when he told me."

Also, @Pelumifundz, who described Kehinde as a friend’s younger brother, said, "This guy is a twin and my friend’s junior brother. He’s so gentle and doesn’t cause trouble. I would really love to know what happened that made the bikeman stab him in the neck. Anyways, rest in peace, Kenny. I know you won’t go without having justice. We will definitely get it for you."

On Monday, Olayinka Ayanlade, the spokesperson for the Oyo State Police Command, confirmed the incident. He told our correspondent in a phone interview that an investigation is ongoing.
