The buildings and environs of the Methodist Church Nigeria Plaza, Oshodi, opposite the demolished Owonifari market were at a standstill Friday when a young man was clobbered to death.
The victim, the late Cheta Ewi, 24, sold and repaired games and downloads prior to his death.
He was said to be the only son and had no family in Lagos.
The plaza, home to wholesale traders in clothing items, looked more like a ghost town than a beehive of activity which is the usual atmosphere of shops in the ever bustling Oshodi market.
