According to a statement by the Rapid Responds Squad of the Lagos State Police command, Bashiru had accused the Suya man of laughing at him and the suya seller told him he was laughing at the person who fell into the gutter. Bashiru and his gang threw the suya seller’s meat on the floor and left. Angered by Bashiru’s action, the Suya seller and some sympathizers went to complain to his father, the Sarki, Alh Adamu Ahmed Gaeya, who promised to pay for the suya but the owner declined the compensation.
