Narrating what transpired the night he was killed,
a resident of the area who spoke anonymously
with Punch said it is believed that he was killed
by some cultist
"When the gang got in, they went to where
he was sitting. They had different weapons,
ranging from cutlasses to guns. One of
them went to him, hit him in the chest and
he fell down. He then brought out a gun and
shot him point blank. On the table where he
was drinking with his friends were a pay
slip, his ATM cards and his car key.”
Police sources say his body was taken to the
Yaba mortuary. Meanwhile the three friends he
went to the beer parlor with as well as the owner
of the beer parlor are now being interrogated.
Deputy Police Public Relations Officer, Lelma
Kolle, said the unknown gunmen actually tried to
escape with the deceased car after they killed him
"Investigations revealed that the man parked
his car a distance away from where he was
drinking. The police also discovered that
there was a blood stain on the car and the
car key was found within the vicinity, also
with blood stains. This can only mean that
after they killed him, they attempted to go
away with his car. They actually succeeded
in opening the car because there were blood
stains on the car seat. But the car did not
move because of the security system in it.
The owner of the bar has been arrested and
he has made statements. We cannot
categorically say whether this was a robbery
or an assassination plot. The matter is still
under investigation.” he said
The management of the University of Lagos is yet
to make a statement on the incident.
