(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – A 15-year-old boy Oghenemaro Eriana has been reportedly stabbed to death by a bouncer for picking money at a wedding reception held at Mofor, Udu Local Government Area, Delta State.

African Examiner gathered that the boy was stabbed to death allegedly by a bouncer drafted to the wedding reception at a popular Hotel in the area.

A witness told our correspondent that the boy was trying to pick up money sprayed on the couple during the wedding ceremony, when the bouncer, simply identified as Francis Utuedor, hauled him and stabbed him in the process.

“The boy stayed along Kolokolo Street in Udu Road and went to the party with his mother but was stabbed to death before help could come his way.

“Even they said that his mother lost her older son about two months ago before this tragic death of another son happened.

“The deceased and his mother attended the wedding reception party because they were a neighbour to the groom at Kolokolo street,” the witness said.
