Some group of armed thugs in
Lagos state unleashed terror on
youths who were returning from a
campaign rally on Saturday at
Glover Street.
However, the incident led to the
death of one of the youths known as
Jubril Sulaimon. According to
Punch, Sulaimon was chased and
hacked to death with cutlass.
Meanwhile, another victim of the
incident, Sunday Marcus, who
escaped, claimed that they were
wearing APC shirts and bands and
were said to be returning from the
All Progressive Congress rally which
was held at Ports Authority area in
Apapa on Saturday before the thugs
attacked them.
“The attack on Saturday was not at
the scene of the rally. We were
coming back home, and were at
Glover Street when the incident
occurred”.
He also narrated how the deceased
was cut by cutlass and left to meet
his death.
“My three friends and I were lucky
to escape with wounds. The thugs
cut Sulaimon in several parts of his
body. He died on Sunday morning.”
Sulaimon was rushed to the Lagos
Island General Hospital by some
residents of the streets and where
he gave up later.
“Nobody knows Sulaimon’s family’s
house or relatives in Adeniji Adele.
Another friend, who was shot, Jide
Olorogun, is receiving treatment too
in a neighboring area,” he said.
According to the Lagos State Police
Public Relations Officer, Kenneth
Nwosu, while confirming the attack,
claimed that there was no death
recorded in the incident.
“There was a skirmish in the area on
Sunday. Two factions of the same
political party attacked one another.
The police have arrested one suspect
and recovered a cutlass from him.
Meanwhile, no death was reported
and normalcy has returned to the
place now.”
Report however says the corpse of
Sulaimon has been moved to the
Lagos Island General Hospital’s
Mortuary but no relative has
showed up to claim the body yet.
