Hoodlums, at the weekend, allegedly waylaid and shot dead a 30-year-old man in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

WuzupNigeria gathered Lanre Ahmed was killed during a cult clash in the Kudeti area of the city.

Lanre’s elder sister, one Yetunde Ahmed, said the deceased was killed in the evening by members of a cult group who were said to be on the trail of some youngsters in the community.

She said,

“We are living at Kudeti community in Ibadan. I saw my late brother in the evening, precisely around 6pm and he was well and kicking. I learnt that he came back home briefly around 8 pm yesterday (Saturday).

“We heard that some hoodlums waylaid him on the bridge and shot him dead. I got the news through a telephone call.

“My brother wasn’t based in Ibadan. He just came home. He returned to Ibadan in the wake of the 1million boys’ rage at Ago Iwoye in Ogun State. I was hit by bullet at the scene; I was called on the telephone that he had been shot.

“On getting to the scene, he mentioned the ‘Nasawe’ and Ekungbemi boys. Specifically, he mentioned ‘Skelor’ and ‘Taye Alaga,’ Shuaibu Ishu and Jeremi as those after him.

“He said that the boys had said that they would continue to strike, that it would not end at that. They said following Moshood’s killing, more people would still go down.”

The Police Public Relations Officer, Oyo State Command, Olugbenga Fadeyi, while confirming Ahmed’s death, said an investigation had been intensified to unearth facts behind his death.

Fadeyi said,

“Lanre Ahmed is a 30-year-old man. I can confirm to you that he was shot dead but once investigation has been intensified, those behind the killing shall be arrested and brought to justice.”
