A 20-year-old apprentice tailor
was on Monday night shot to death at the Oworonshoki area of Lagos State by
unknown killers after his prayer in the mosque.
The deceased, Sharafudeen Ajao was
said inside the shop where he was learning his trade, when the motorbike
killers appeared and pumped bullets into him.
A resident said: “He was killed
moments after he returned from praying at the mosque. The bullets got his chest
and stomach. People heard at the sound of the gunshots. It was after the dust settled
that we came out and saw the deceased in a pool of his blood. We rushed him to
Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH). He was confirmed dead.”
It was also gathered that the
assailants shot to death someone at LNK, another street in the community before
coming to Odugbemi Street where the apprentice was killed.
Mr. Abdurask Ajao the deceased elder
brother said:“The death of my brother is a big shock to me and my other
siblings. I asked him to go andlearn fashion designing before writing his West
Africa Examination Council, because I didn’t want him to be idle. I never knew
that my brother would be killed. I was at home when someone came to call me
that my brother had been shot at their shop, when I got there I saw large crowd
outside their shop trying to take him to hospital, he was pronounced dead
at the hospital.
“We lost our mother last year, now I
had lost our last born, but there is nothing I can do as Muslim, we pray Allah
to grant him eternal rest. Immediately after the incident we reported the
matter to Alonge Police station.”
