Commuters on a bus on the Ikorodu Road, Lagos State, were shell-shocked after some gunmen in a Camry blocked their path and killed a passenger.
It was gathered that the four men, wielding guns, cutlasses and
daggers quickly made their way into the vehicle immediately they waylaid it.
A 40-year-old passenger, identified as Olusola Bamidele, was said to have been dragged down from the bus and butchered.
The men reportedly left him in a pool of blood and drove off in their car.
After which other passenger in the bus took to their heel while the driver and the conductor took victim to the hospital before he was confirmed dead.
A resident speaking about the incident said There was confusion here that night. The driver was coming from Mile 12 and going inward Ikorodu. When he got to Thomas bus stop, the Camry, which had been trailing the bus, waylaid it. Four men came out of the car and entered the vehicle through the back door.
“They brought out their target and stabbed him in the neck and chest. When they were sure he was dead, they entered their car and drove away. There was a lot of blood on the road.”
The driver was said to have taken the deceased to the Owode Onirin Police Station.
The family of the victim were later contacted and invited to the station and they said they were not interested in pursuing a case. They said the police could carry on with investigations, but they wanted to bury their corpse in accordance with Islamic rites.
But report by PUNCH Metro gathered that the same ash-coloured Camry might be the one used in the killing of another resident a few weeks back.
The source said, “That same Camry carried out a similar operation three weeks back and a resident was killed.
“The man that was killed that time and this man, lived in Ikorodu. The manner of their death suggested it had something to do with cultism.
“It is also probable that there was someone in that bus giving information to the guys in the Camry on the movement of the bus and that was why they were able to double cross them at that point.”
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, confirmed the incident, adding that the police were making efforts to arrest the suspects.
She said, “From the report we have, the four men waylaid the vehicle and entered the bus. They stabbed the man to death.
“We visited, examined and photographed the scene before depositing the corpse at the Ikorodu General Hospital morgue. Investigations are ongoing and very soon, we will get the culprits.”
