Ahmed had accused the Suya man of laughing at him while the Suya man told him he was laughing at someone who had fallen into the gutter.

Out if anger and to show superiority, Ahmed and his gang had allegedly thrown the suya Seller’s meat on the floor and left.

It was also learnt that the Suya man and some sympathizers had gone to complain to Ahmed’s father, the Sarki, Alhaji Adamu Gaya, who promised to pay for the suya.

Unfortunately, the Suya man had declined the compensation. Surprisingly, the following day, the Suya seller was shot and killed by two assailants who escaped from scene.
