—Hoodlums kill young man in Lagos
–Residents watch in fear as the hoodlums take the young man’s life
–Vigilante group claim one of the suspects has been arrested
Some hoodlums have been accused of storming Iya Agan street on Old Apapa road in Lagos state and killing a 23-year-old simply identified only as Dada.
The Punch reports that the tragic incident happened on Friday, January 22 when the hoodlums allegedly slaughtered the victim while assuring panicking resident that they were not ready to take innocent lives.
It was reported that when policemen arrived at the scene, the suspected cultists had fled.
The suspects reportedly trailed Dauda to the street before killing. Residents claimed they first shot at him but when it had no effect; they killed him with a cutlass.
A resident who claimed anonymity said Dauda belonged to a rival group which was why he was targeted.
“Those hoodlums had come on Tuesday to attack a shop owner and collected his phones and money. So, when we saw them again on Friday, we were afraid. But they said they knew the person they were looking for.
“Minutes later, they found Dada and started shooting at him. There was a man who came to repair his car at a mechanic workshop at that time, he left his car and climbed a fence in fear. But the hoodlums continued to assurepeople around the scene that they should not run.
“ I do not know the deceased’s family members, but he was usually seen with the Fagabayimu Boys. When we told the man on the fence that the hoodlums had gone and he should come down, he refused.”
Mr. Ishola Agbodemu, one of the executive of the vigilante group claimed one of the suspects, simply identified as Ayo was apprehended on Saturday, January 23 and handed over to the anti-robbery squad of the police department in Yaba.
“The hoodlums wanted to start reprisals in our area, but we brought out vigilance group members to apprehend them. On Saturday, one of the suspects, Ayo, was caught with weapons. They were actually three, but we caught one of them.”
In a related development, a 65-year-old woman identified as Adejoke Adefuye was on Saturday, January 23, burnt to death by suspected cultists after setting her residence on fire.
