Nigerian Cyclist dies days after being st*bbed by armed robbers in Lagos

Friends, taken to social media to mourn a popular cyclist, Afolabi Mabogunje, who has reportedly lost his life days after being st*bbed by armed robbers in Lagos.

OsmekNews gathered that the deceased, “So I lost a very close cyclist friend of mine today. We did all the crazy circuits day and night. I can’t remember many rides in Lagos without him. Last Thursday, he was attacked at Shodex (our meet up point) in Anthony by robbers.
.
What did they expect to get from a cyclist? He was st*bbed in the neck. He was a tough guy. He had the wherewithal to cycle back to Gbagada general whilst putting pressure on the bleeding vein. Attempts to stop the bleeding was unsuccessful. His wife (a doctor) and others attended to him.

They both joked that I had retired to ilisan because I stoped cycling 4 months ago. The jugular vein had been breached. He was transferred to Luth or Lasuth for surgery. He never came out of c*ma. He gave up the ghost today. Rip Mabogs aka Afolabi Mabogunje. This Naija no safe anytime of the day.”
