Suspected
assassins on Friday August 29 shot dead the Head of Operations,
Security Unit, University of Lagos, Mr. Sunday Adejumo at a beer parlour
on Oyenuga Street in the Akoka area of Lagos on Friday evening.
The
deceased was in the joint with three of his friends when some men
stormed the pub, went straight to Mr. Sunday’s table, shot him in the
chest before firing shots at him. He died some minutes later because he
could not get help on time.
A resident said the owner of the drinking house had been arrested and was being interrogated at the Bariga Police Station…
“The
incident happened around 8.30pm on Friday. We suddenly heard gunshots
and we all rushed into our different houses because we did not know what
exactly happened. It was later we learnt that one of those in the beer
parlour was killed.
It was not a robbery because they did not steal anything or injure anybody else. Immediately they killed him, they left.”
Another source, said Adejumo might have been killed by suspected cultists…
“When
the gang got in, they went to where he was sitting. They had different
weapons, ranging from cutlasses to guns. One of them went to him, hit
him in the chest and he fell down. He then brought out a gun and shot
him point blank.
On the table where he was drinking with his friends were a pay slip, his ATM cards and his car key.”
Mr. Adejumo’s corpse was taken to the police station late in the night from where it was taken to the Yaba mortuary.
