A yet-to-be-identified man has been killed by gunmen at Ojo-Igbede in the Ojo area of Lagos State.

PUNCH Metro learnt that the incident occurred on Saturday, July 19.

Our correspondent gathered that the victim had stepped out to buy a plate of food from a vendor in the community when two men on a motorcycle approached him.

An eyewitness who craved anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the incident told our correspondent on Saturday that the two unidentified assailants who wore caps forced the deceased victim to kneel and shot him in the process.

Other customers present at the scene were said to have scampered for safety.

The source said, “The victim is new in this area, and no one knew his name. He had only come out to buy cooked food. While he was in the queue with others, two men on a motorcycle arrived at the spot and beckoned to him to come. The moment he moved close to them, they asked him to lie down. At first, he declined. He obliged shortly after, and that was when he was shot in the head. He had barely spent five minutes when the attack happened.”

In a photo sent to PUNCH Metro, the deceased was seen lying in a pool of blood as residents gathered around him.

An anti-cultism advocacy page on X also shared details of the incident, stating that the deceased had just moved into the area.

“Another man was killed in Ojo in the second video. Aye cultists claimed it, but there was controversy surrounding the victim’s affiliation. Sources confirmed that the victim had just moved into the area and went out to buy cooked food.”

While waiting for his turn, men on a bike called him out, told him to kneel (others said lie down), then shot him in the head multiple times before driving away,” the platform stated.

Another resident who gave his name simply as Bode said the incident caused panic in the community.

He said, “There was serious panic in the area after the incident, and this made us work more on our security because we don’t know who is next.”

Efforts to reach the state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, on Sunday, were unsuccessful as calls to his line went unanswered. A text message sent to him had yet to be replied to as of the time this report was filed.

PUNCH Metro reported on Friday that the Lagos State Police Command arrested three suspects for stabbing a man, identified as Scoro, to death during a public brawl in the Lagos Island area of the state.

Our correspondent learnt that the incident happened on Tuesday when Scoro was attacked by a group of guys who were attempting a reprisal on another group over a dispute related to building ownership.

NaijaConfra, which shared details of the incident on its X handle noted that a group had attacked another and, in the process of a reprisal, Scoro was stabbed to death.

He had ate his last meal earlier.

Such is life!

There are many people that shot several times at different places yet didn't die.

Some still lived with a few bullets for days or months before being completely removed!

And for some it only takes one or two bullets and they are gone!

Such is life!

Na one shit you go shit wey you no go shit another!

Security in Lagos is a joke under sanwo olu, the guy just dey.

Only God know what he might have involved himself in!

But may God preserve our going out and coming in.

Is that why you want to use the food to tempt us.

Haba

Could be mistaken identity or youthful exuberance. An acquaintance of mine died in such manner. When questioned, the culprits said they never met him before. They snuffed his life because they didn’t like his appearance.

Thought I was the only one that noticed. Very irrelevant photo on the tread. The op and food must be 5 & 6

Instead of showing us photo of the victim, u are showing us photo of food,

Nope, definitely cult hit ... that kneeling down part

Cultism is for farm tools with low self esteem who needs validation from other morally bankrupt farm tools.

I suspect this blogger to be in the habit of cooking up stories out of the figments of his imagination just to sustain his blogging hustle.

I take this report with the pinch of salt.

Should have allowed him enjoyed his last meal before una tobo

Such a sad way to die!
Looks like he was already dead.
Just living on borrowed time.
Most probably cult related issues.

Likely cult related issue. The Lagos state government is not doing much about the cultism related issue in the state.

Most of those criminal boys that have been running to Ogun state are regretting as the Ogun state police command are arresting them daily

Too many criminals have really migrated to Lagos, not just for votes but also to commit crimes. I remember those that were killed in Mushin some years back. They all mirated to Lagos. What a shame!

Nmmmnnnnnnnn

Cult issues of course. Confraternity has eaten deep into our youths. No remedy.

Man asssssssasssssinnnattttttttttttttedddd

Even if you hire Sherlock Holmes,

He can't solve the Crime called Nigeria.

Creamypie:

Except you nor dey use phone.
Go anywhere for Nigeria,them must get you if you be high profile target.
The solution na, if you nor dey use phone, banking service or any other electronic devices.
