A male adult identified simply as Golden has been confirmed dead after he was shot by unknown assailants in the Igando area of Lagos State.
It was
learnt that the incident occurred in the Fatoki area of the community.
It was
gathered that the assailants, numbering about two, rode into the community on a
motorcycle in search of the deceased.
The
assailants thereafter located him in the area and allegedly shot him in the
process.
“We
got a report that someone was shot on Fatoki Street, and when our men were
deployed to the scene, the deceased was found lying lifeless in a pool of
blood. He was taken to the hospital, where he was confirmed dead and later
taken to the morgue,” the source disclosed.
The
police, however, could not disclose the cause of the incident, noting that an
investigation was ongoing.
Meanwhile,
an anti-cultism advocacy platform, Confra Naija, in a post on Thursday, noted
that the incident was business-related.
It
wrote, “The victim in that incident was identified as Golden. Although two cult
groups (Aye and Vikings) were mentioned in this incident, sources confirmed
that the attack was not cult-related but rather a case of a business dispute
involving Yahoo money.”
The
platform added that Golden was sitting outside before the attackers entered the
street on a motorcycle and shot him in the head.
The
spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command, Abimbola Adebisi, was
unreachable as calls to her telephone lines went unanswered. A text message
sent to her had yet to be replied to by the time this report was filed.
The
incident occurred barely five days after a shawarma vendor identified simply as
Andy was shot dead by suspected cultists in the Sangotedo area of Lagos State.
