Dave was a sound Engineer in Lagos. He was on his way to an event at Admiralty using the same bike with the keyboardist Philip . They had an argument with the bike man who was an Aboki man over N100 which resulted in a fight. #JusticeForDave
The other Hausa men around the area, doubled up and beat the two men using sticks, stones and whatever they could lay their hands on. They videos-recorded the whole act. In the video they were heard boasting. “We we be Hausa men”
They beat Dave to death but they didn’t stop there
They poured fuel on him and set his body ablaze, burning him beyond recognition . The saxophonist, Frank, went to the scene to try to access the situation and possibly separate them but he was beaten to coma and is currently fighting for his life alongside Philip.

Many people shy away from brushing their tongue because it makes them gag but if you brush it properly the gag won’t happen. Make sure you breath deeply in and out and bring your tongue out as much as possible instead of putting the tooth brush inside your throat
