A lady suspected to be a worker with Multi-choice
was shot dead yesterday morning along LASU/Iba road while heading to office.
The deceased was said to have been shot twice on her
the head by two men on a motorcycle. The two men, believed to be armed robbers,
had demanded submission of her laptop, but she refused to relinquish it.
She had just walked out Post Service Estate, where
she lives when she encountered the gunmen.
One of them whipped out a gun, shot her twice on the
head and sped away.
An eyewitness said: “The lady works with
Multi-choice and lives at ….estate. As she came out from the state, heading
towards the bus stop to board a commercial bus, a commercial cyclist blocked her
path. They were two men on the motorcycle. They shot on her on the head.
Following the gunshot, she fell to the ground. They grabbed the laptop and her
handbag and sped off.”
The corpse of the lady was taken to Iba Police
Station and then to the mortuary by her grieving father.
Some residents at the scene of the incident claimed
that crimes, especially robberies, had escalated along the LASU/Iba routes in
the aftermath of the #EndSARS Protest.
Our correspondent also learnt that the Lagos State Commissioner
of Police (CP), Hakeem Odumosu, aware of the escalating crimes along the axis,
had deployed teams of policemen there.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer
(PPRO), a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), Mr. Adekunle Ajisebutu, when contacted
about the incident and other facts of the case, promised to get back to our
correspondent, but never did as at press time.
