A 14-year-old teenage boy simply identified as Prosper has stabbed his friend to death, Osamede Osagbovo, during a dispute in Ramat Park, Ikpoba Hill, Benin City, over money they earned while working as touts.
Prosper and Osamede, who both worked at the busy loading point canvassing passengers for motorists and helping carry luggage for small payments, were said to have fallen out while attempting to divide N2,000 they had just made, Daily Trust reports.
Trouble reportedly erupted when Prosper allegedly refused an equal split of the money, insisting he had done more of the work.
The disagreement was said to have escalated into a fight.
