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 UNILAG is
yet to make a statement on this incident
