A man is seeking justice after he’s been assaulted by a street touts in Ojota, Lagos, for no plausible reason whatsoever.

Ojay, a fashion stylist, said he was walking with his friend last night when some of the hoodlums in his neighbourhood asked them to stop. But the refused to obey the order. They were assaulted and beaten mercilessly, leaving Ojay with a detailed cut on his nose, which was bleeding profusely.

Ojay added that people then begged the touts when help came. Those touts are familiar faces in the area and that they are used to bullying and attacking people, according to him.

He’s now asking for justice, to serve as a deterrent s that the touts won’t hurt another person again.

He wrote in his statement:

This happened around past 9 last night. A friend came to visit me and I decided to see him off just 4 buildings away from my house 3 guys asked us to stop and I told my friend not to answer them .

The next thing we heard was a slap from behind on my friend neck and I was like why would you slap someone you don’t know what has he done? Just before I could finish my statement the 3 of them started beating us. My friend was able to run to call for help from my house since the people around there where not ready to help.

When we finally got help people started to come around . It was so funny that most people now started to beg this guys and where telling me to let go because this guys are known faces in the area and it not the first time of doing this to people in the area. I was able to identify one of them well, I know is house all.

All I am asking for is justice we don’t know who the next victim is. This happened in Ojota, Lagos.
