A man, Mubarak Sulaiman, who was killed by armed robbers that attacked a bullion van at Idi Ape, Ibadan on Thursday might have had a premonition of his death the previous day as he reportedly insisted on paying immediately for a service because he ‘might die before tomorrow’.

A trained biomedical scientist, Arabic Language tutor, consultant, and coach, Sulaiman was hit by a stray bullet fired by the robbers who killed two police officers, two civilians and carted away millions of Naira from the bullion van.

One of Sulaiman’s friends, Akinkunmi Akinpelu, in a post shared on his Facebook page, stated that the deceased insisted on paying for a service.

Akinpelu shared the last conversation he had with Sulaiman, where the deceased requested to make payment for a service immediately stating that he might not be alive the next day.

”Mubarak Sulaiman Olanrewaju You said you might die before tomorrow as if you have known that you’re going to be killed today.

“I never knew you, but your demise hit me real deep, because like every other fathers like us who left home, we got back home but yours was to al barzakh (Life in the grave).

“May Allah accept your return and forgive your shortcomings.

“May Allah strengthen those you left behind especially your wife.

“My brethren!

“We walk with our heads high up in the sky, unaware that one day we’ll be trapped 6′ Feet under the ground.

“Our death and meeting with our Creator is approaching and yet our biggest worry is what are we going to wear tomorrow?

“May Allah honour us with a good End.”
