Again, two people have been killed on Lagos Island over rivalry
between the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives
Congress (APC).
It was gathered that one of the victims identified
simply as Ridwan was hacked to death inside his tricycle, while the
second, whose name was given as Qudus, was shot dead at a hotel in
Oke-Popo area of Lagos Island.
A witness told our correspondent that the late Ridwan was resting
inside his tricycle after the day’s work when about 10 armed men
suspected to be members of the PDP from Partey and Oshodi Street stormed
the area and hacked him to death.
He said while they were still
mourning Ridwan’s death, the assailants struck again the following day
and killed Qudus.
The witness also said the late Qudus and his friends were inside the
hotel on Friday celebrating his birthday when information got to them
that those who killed Ridwan had invaded the street again and started
vandalising vehicles.
He said: “Qudus and I decided to leave for
Oke-Popo Street to check the extent of the damage done to the vehicles.
We did not know that they had laid an ambush for us.
Immediately we came
out of the gate of the hotel, the deceased was shot at a close range.”
The late Qudus was said to have been rushed to a private hospital in the
area, but died before doctors could attend to him.
