A lady, Oluwabunmi Adeola Oladokun, and an unidentified man, were
shot by gunmen on the morning of Friday, 12 September in Orisumbare area
of Idimu, Lagos.
Oladokun was on her way to work in Victoria Island around 5:30 a.m, when she got shot and died on the spot.
The identity of the male victim could not be ascertained, but he
reportedly managed to escape with a gunshot injury and is currently
receiving treatment at a private hospital in the area.
The cause of the attack could not be determined as at press time, but
eyewitness accounts have it that before Oluwabunmi was shot, people in
the neighbourhood heard her shout for help.
The father of the lady, Pastor Peter Oladokun, who ministers at the
‘Mighty Hand of God’, a popular church in the area, located along Ejigbo
Road, Orisumbare, said a neighbour informed him about the incident and
he went there and saw his daughter lying dead. He said he could not do
anything when he got to the scene because she was already dead.
He said he went to inform the police who have taken over the matter,
while the family was waiting for conclusion of autopsy report before her
burial, while lamenting the state of insecurity in the country and
urged the government to improve security because people are no longer
safe.
Meanwhile, the Divisional Police officer of Shasha Police Division,
was not available to comment on the matter, while the police is believed
to have commenced investigation into the shooting.
