Security Guard Kills Babcock University Female Student in Hotel
A security guard, Azeez Ibrahim, has shot dead a female undergraduate of Babcock
University, Busayo Ogunkoya, during a birthday party in a hotel in Ikorodu,
Lagos State.
PUNCH Metro learnt that 22-year-old Ogunkoya was celebrating with her friends
on Saturday evening, July 5, 2014, at Mambillah Hotel, when the guard fired a
shot that killed her.
Our correspondent learnt that immediately the incident happened, there was
confusion as the people fled the hotel.
A source said Ibrahim was drunk.
He said, “The incident happened on Saturday night when Busayo and her friends
were having a party.
“She did not know the person celebrating, but she was invited to the party by
her boyfriend.
“The party was going on fine until the security man, who was holding a gun
which he claimed he had seized from some robbers, mishandled the gun and fired
a bullet which hit Busayo. The guard was said to be drunk.”
Our correspondent gathered that the bullet lodged in the neck region of the
victim.
She was said to have been rushed to a private hospital in the area where she
was confirmed dead.
Policemen from the Owutu Police Division were said to have arrived at the
scene and arrested the guard, the assistant manager of the hotel and the
victim’s boyfriend.
When our correspondent visited the area, there was tension as residents were
afraid to talk about the incident.
Mambillah, which is one of the popular hotels in the Ikorodu area of Lagos,
also bore a gloomy look.
A resident confided in PUNCH Metro that since the tragedy, the hotel had been
shut to guests and no music had been played during the daytime as was the
practice.
A large number of security officials was also said to have been deployed in
the hotel to prevent attack from aggrieved youths.
A young boy, who did not identify himself for security reason, said the
incident left a bloody trail.
He said, “On Sunday morning when I wanted to do something in the hotel, I
noticed blood on the ground. I cannot say exactly how the incident happened,
but I learnt a lady was killed the previous night.”
PUNCH Metro learnt that the guard, who fired the killer shot, owned a house in
Ikorodu.
Our correspondent spoke with one of his tenants, who pleaded anonymity for
security reasons.
She described Ibrahim as a caring landlord who was only a victim of some
“forces.”
She said, “He is such a nice and caring landlord. I have been living in his
house for a long time and he has never made any trouble with me.
“I know he is just a victim of some forces beyond his control. He could not
have deliberately killed the girl and I hope the police authorities would have
mercy on him.”
When our correspondent met the manager of the hotel for comment, he said he
had nothing to say.
After verifying the identity of our correspondent, he said, “I have nothing to
say to The PUNCH newspaper. Where were you when the incident happened? Where
were you when I was trying to settle with the girl’s family? Please I have
nothing to say.”
The Deputy Police Public Relations Officer, Lelma Kolle, an Assistant
Superintendent of Police, however, confirmed the incident.
He said the case had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation
Department, Yaba, for investigation.
Kolle said, “Yes the incident happened. The girl was in the hotel and the
security man opened fire on her. Nobody knows his reason for doing that. The
police have arrested the assistant manager of the hotel, the deceased’s
boyfriend and the security man. The case has been transferred to the SCID.”
