Report has it that Unknown gunmen chased a motorcycle rider to an area
on Lodge Street, Oke Ado, Ibadan, Oyo State,
on Monday night and shot him on the head at close range, after which
they went away with his motorcycle.When Tribune Metro got to the scene of the incident
a few minutes after it occurred, it was learnt that the man, whose identity was
unknown, was shot at about 7.55p.m.
A resident of the street who spoke under anonymity said that he was
sitting outside when he noticed two motorcycles following each other.The
deceased, it was said, rode alone on his bike while three men, who later turned
out to be armed robbers, rode on the second motorcycle.
“As they got in front of my house, I heard one of the armed robbers
shout ‘stop!’. The next thing I heard was a shot that rang out.
“They dragged the rider off his bike and one of them took over while
the remaining two rode on their operational motorcycle and speed off,” the
eyewitness said further.
Tribune Metro noticed that the rider died a few minutes after writhing
in pains, as he bled from the head. His pair of slippers lay beside him on the
spot where he fell.
About 20 minutes after the occurrence, police patrol teams from
Iyaganku and Orita Challenge Divisions as well as Swift Response Squad (SRS)
arrived at the scene, led by the Divisional Police Officer in charge of
Iyaganku Division, to evacuate the body of the man.
