So you don't think some people had their own intentions for that lab to be burnt? You don't think criminals did not want that building so let's blame it under the cover of endsars? Why was that lab specifically targeted? Why not courts or other labs? Don't worry about replying me, I already see how you think from your previous comment.

Say No to cultism
If he was a cultist, he wouldn't be on the road selling that.

Let's reason well.

If it's not Money issue, business, having a good spot where he sells, it would be definitely woman issue.

I wonder why people kill themselves, like, how do they even sleep at night?

This is the reason I have the mentality of:

No, worry, Na you win, you sabi beat me, I no fit fight or I just walk away.


At least, that would give me peace.

This incident occurred right before my very eyes, it was alleged that his brother was the wanted one, but due to his absence they decided to leave a message behind for him
Obasa333:
A shawarma vendor identified simply as Andy has been shot dead by suspected cultists in the Sangotedo area of Lagos State.

PUNCH Metro learnt on Monday that the incident occurred on Saturday evening.

It was gathered that Andy was attending to customers at his shawarma stand when some masked men stormed the spot and opened fire on him at close range.

The attackers were said to have fled immediately after the shooting, leaving the victim in a pool of blood.

A police source familiar with the incident told PUNCH Metro on Monday that the assailants allegedly disguised themselves as customers before launching the attack.

“The information we received was that the suspects came to the spot pretending to be customers who wanted to buy shawarma.

“The victim was attending to them when they suddenly brought out guns and shot him in the head before escaping.

“Our officers later moved to the scene and saw the lifeless body in a pool of blood. The body was later evacuated from the scene,” the source said.

The police source added that the incident had yet to be linked to cultism until investigations were concluded.

Meanwhile, an anti-cultism platform, Confra Naija, in a post seen by PUNCH Metro on Monday, stated that the incident was cult-related.

The platform also described the deceased as peaceful and hardworking.

“Yesterday, a young man named Andy, popularly known as Aboki De Junior, was shot dead around the ShopRite area of Sangotedo, Lagos State. Armed men reportedly arrived at Aboki De Junior’s shawarma spot and opened fire, killing him.

“After the attack, Eiye cultists claimed responsibility. Aboki De Junior was a peaceful and hardworking shawarma seller from Benue State, known as a calm and friendly businessman who welcomed everybody and had Aye members as friends,” the platform partly wrote.

In a video attached to the post, some residents were seen gathered around the lifeless body while some of them wept over the incident.

A female adult believed to be related to the victim was also seen clutching the lifeless body and crying uncontrollably.

The spokesperson for the state police command, Abimbola Adebisi, could not be reached for comment as calls made to her telephone lines were not answered. A text message sent to her had yet to be replied to as of the time this report was filed.

Lagos State has witnessed a series of cult-related killings and reprisals in recent years, particularly in areas within the Lekki-Ajah axis, Ikorodu, Mushin, and parts of Lagos Mainland, where rival groups have repeatedly clashed over supremacy battles.

PUNCH Metro reported in August 2025 that a shawarma vendor was shot dead by some assailants suspected to be cultists at his shop located in the Mowo area along the Badagry Expressway, Lagos State.

He is not a cultist. Same way they killed the fish vendor guy. He's not a cultist but once youth sees a fellow youth doing well in the street of hustle. They attack him. It's always good to front your woman to avoid evil eyes

Once they call it cult-related, it means case closed.
That's Nigeria for you. To get away with murder just make it look gang/ cult related or ritual killing and you're as free as air

Someone should at least enlighten me like a kid on what are there to be gained in joining a cult group
Cheap useless and fake power
Free garden tools if you're in campus
Fear and respect from non-cutists
Dwindling grades
Target 🎯 your back
You're always hunted by ops, koty, and witches
Early grave
Painful death
And if you're smart enough to scale through the negatives you will definitely miss many golden opportunities and wear wasted time like a belt because na who dey alive dey make am. When opportunities come for you to grow, devil brings the trouble you signed in blood oath while witches will always hustle your blood. So to survive, you sacrifice the blessings and settle for whatever you're left with or if God shows you love the opportunity comes around again hoping you've outgrown the useless lifestyle but then you done wate any years for practically nothing

I don’t don’t know why they call that Lekki-Ajah axis highbrow area.

It’s is more infested with cultist, touts and hooligans than current day Shomolu.

Seems every youth in that area is a cultist or affiliated to one cult.

The funny part of is that, even the celebs living there are also in the league. Either cultists or affiliated to one cult.
So how do well off folks who live there raise their children? Do their children stroll outside their estates?

He was selling shawama..

He refused to pay an oga in the area..

This is a mafia hit that the state is trying to cover up by saying it is cult related.

Cultists recognise other cultists and this shawama seller did not recognize them..

Babaken:
simple
What is simple about what is fundamentally a crime based on our constitution and law?


Or you believe the shakey rule of cultist associated interaction than structure for law and order?

That's how people will kill people and say just tag him cultist and people like you will believe surface level side talk than to treat the crime the way all crime is meant to be treated.


The system is what is to be relied on to treat all cases of social injustices, not opinions that does not absolve the crime and frankly is a weak cover and susceptibility to criminal intentions.

Sangotedo area is an hotbed for cultism but there are nice and secured estates there too. those cultist are mostly the ones staying in shanties and sleeping outside. truly I don't see what is even special in island. from lekki down, is not planned at all. VI and Ikoyi has proper drainage system.
