A family, whose son was shot dead in Ojuelegba, Lagos, on his 24th
birthday, has cried out to police for justice against the assailants who
gruesomely murdered their child.
The News Agency of Nigeria gathered that Afenghide George was
fatally shot on Nov. 27, few days after an hotelier allegedly threatened
him with gun following an argument.
But according to the deceased’s father, Mr Matthew George-Umaigba,
the four suspected killers of his son were seen moving about freely in
the area.
“It is painful for my son to be killed at his youthful age, yet, the killers are walking freely.
“I want justice to be done in this case. I don’t want my son to
die in vain while the killers are moving freely. I am in pain,’’ said the deceased’s father.
Narrating the events leading to his son’s killing, the bereaved
father told NAN that on Nov. 25, Afenghide and some friends visited
Civic Motel, located at 63, Ojuelegba Road, Surulere.
The hotel is three buildings from the victim’s house.
According to him, the hotel manager, simply identified as Solomon
(a.k.a Sanction), accused Afenghide of disrespecting him and an argument
ensued.
“Solomon brought out a short gun and attempted to shoot Afenghide.
“My son quickly pull up a table to defend himself and escaped out of the hotel,’’ said the deceased’s father.
George-Umaigba said that some boys, led by one Adams, met his son
the following day and accused him of insulting their god-father,
Solomon.
“They argued and the gang threatened to deal with him. Later
that day, Solomon and five other men came to my house to report my son
to me.
“I begged them for forgiveness. My son was however, not happy
that they came to report after they have used gun to threaten his life.
“On Nov. 27, at about 8pm, while my son was seeing off a
friend, two motorcycles carrying two persons grabbed my son and started
shooting him in the head, chest and stomach and left him in the pool of
his blood thinking he was dead.
“Some people took Afenghide to LUTH in a tricycle. He was in
LUTH for seven days before he died at about 3am the day he was to
celebrate his 24th birthday,’’ said the father of the deceased.
According to him, the matter was reported at the Surulere Police
Station where Solomon said in his statement that some cult boys he
identified as Adams, Musa, Timaya and Idimu, killed Afenghide.
George-Umaigba said Solomon, however, denied masterminding the
killing and promised to produce the assailants but failed to do so.
“He even promised to take care of the medical bills.
“After my son died, the police re-arrested Solomon and two
others – Ibrahim and Abbas – and detained them at State CID, Panti for
investigation.
“The police visited the crime scene, hospital and the hotel for
further information but would not release the corpse for burial until
autopsy is carried out,’’ he said.
Afenghide, until his gruesome murder, worked with a plastic company
in Ijesha, Lagos and was the second child of six children in the
family.
The spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, SP Dolapo Badmos, confirmed the incident and the arrest when contacted.
Badmos said the police were on the trail of other members of the
gang, stressing that the suspects would be charged to court as soon as
investigation was concluded.
