A 36-year-old realtor, Yinka Agboola, has d!ed after he was knocked down by a yet-to-be-identified Mercedes Benz driver during a dispute over a parking space at Royal Pine Estate on Orchid Road, Lekki, Lagos State.
It was gathered that the incident occurred on Monday night, December 8, 2025.
The victim’s sister, Agboola Oluwadamilola, who confirmed the incident to punch said Yinka succumbed to his injuries in the early hours of Wednesday, December 11.
She said that the incident had been reported to the Ajah police station, adding that the whereabouts of the suspect were still unknown.
“I went to the Ajah police station. The witnesses have been there before, but I went there yesterday to give my own statement,” she said.
One @Ifeoluwaar, who raised the alarm in a series of posts on X, disclosed that residents found the suspect’s vehicle (a white Mercedes Benz ML350) obstructing the road and offered him an alternative parking spot.
However, the driver reportedly became aggressive and threatened to k!ll one of the residents.
The confrontation escalated into a scuffle, prompting Agboola, also a resident, to intervene.
“The situation began when the individual involved was politely asked to move his vehicle from the middle of the road to allow free movement. Despite being offered an alternative place to park, he responded to a resident with, ‘Do you know who I am? I will kill you right now,” Ifeoluwa narrated.
“When challenged, he became aggressive and engaged in a tussle. The victim, Olayinka Agboola, attempted to intervene.”
The X user further revealed that the suspect entered his vehicle and, rather than leaving the scene, allegedly drove forward and reversed in a threatening manner.
According to @Ifeoluwaar, Agboola attempted to restrain the driver, but the suspect sped off with him clinging to the steering wheel before knocking him against a pavement.
“While residents tried to stop him and prevent his escape, Yinka attempted to restrain him, but the suspect sped off with him hanging onto the steering wheel. He then slammed the brakes, throwing Yinka violently onto the pavement and into a gutter, leaving him unconscious,” the post read.
The footage of the incident, captured by a closed-circuit television camera and attached to the post, showed a white Mercedes-Benz reversing dangerously as it attempted to hit a group of people.
Another clip recorded the moment Agboola was knocked down as the vehicle sped off.
Residents made frantic efforts to revive Agboola, who was said to be battling for his life in the Intensive Care Unit of an undisclosed hospital.
The X user described the fleeing driver as fair-skinned, tall, with curly hair, strong, chiseled facial features and muscular built.
