March 21, was a dark day for residents of PPL community in Ojo Local Government Area of Lagos State, as some men in hood murdered a staff of Globacoms Telecommunication, Adekanmi Adaramola.
The deceased, said to be in his 30s, was found in the pool of his own blood, with pallets of the bullets on the ground, with some parts of his body mutilated at PPL Bus stop along Lagos-Badagry expressway, at about 6am.
An eyewitness narrated that the deceased had gone to check on someone before resuming for the day’s job at the office and was receiving a phone call when the assailants shot him at close range.
His grief stricken wife, Patience, told newsmen: “My husband left home early today (March 21) to see someone before his office resumption hour. He worked with Glo network. I do not know why these men decided to kill him.
“ When the news filtered in, we were told that a man was attacked by gunmen. I uttered a word of prayer for God to spare the life of the victim, without an inkling that it would turn out to be my husband”, she said in tears .
Reacting to the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bala Elkana, stated that investigations had begun to unravel the perpetrators.
Elkana said: “He was receiving a phone call when the men attacked and killed him. We do not know the reason for the act. Some eyewitness said that it was an issue between different cult groups but we do not want to believe such. “We received the complaint and investigation has commenced; though we are yet to make any arrest. But we can assure the public that circumstances surrounding his death will be unraveled.”
Sources at Globacoms Telecommunication have however denied the killing of a man reported to be a staff of the company. The sources clarified that the deceased was a dealer’s staff.
They sympathised with the family of the deceased.
