A yet-to-be-identified suspect is on the run after allegedly shooting one Kayode Oloruntoba in the stomach at a food joint in the Alagbado area of Lagos State on Friday.

Efforts to save Oloruntoba by some good Samaritans, including his friend, Kazeem Okikiola, proved abortive, as he died.

PUNCH Metro gathered that Okikiola on Friday , September 11, went to Avid Bar at Alagbado to buy Shawarma and called Oloruntoba to join him.

While waiting for the Shawarma seller to attend to him, it was learnt that Okikiola got into an argument with another customer, who also wanted to buy the dish.

The argument, which centred on who should be served first, however, degenerated into an altercation and out of annoyance, the suspect left the spot, entered his car and drove awa.

A few minutes later, Oloruntoba met Okikiola at the spot and while they waited for the Shawarma, the suspect reportedly returned, brought out a gun and shot in the direction of the two friends.
The bullet was said to have hit Oloruntoba in the stomach, while the suspect fled.

A resident, who identified himself as Chinedu, said the suspect mistakenly shot the 35-year-old.
"He actually thought that he shot the person (Okikiola) he argued with. Unfortunately, the bullet hit the wrong person. Immediately, the suspect got back into his car and drove away,” he added.

Another resident, Seyifunmi Akinola, said a native doctor assisted in removing the bullet from Oloruntoba’s body, adding that he died while being rushed to hospital for further treatment.

Akinola said, “Immediately the incident happened , his friends rushed him to the Merit Hospital where he was rejected because there was no police report.
He was later referred to the General Hospital, Otta, Ogun State, where he was cleaned up and transferred to the General Hospital in Abeokuta.

“But instead of taking him to Abeokuta, they took him to a native doctor to remove the bullet from his body and returned him to the General Hospital in Otta, but he was rejected. He died on the way to another hospital.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said six suspects, including Okikiola, were being questioned over the incident.

Adejobi said, “After the shooting, his friend and witness, Kazeem Okikiola, who had earlier called Oloruntoba to join him at the Shawarma spot, refused to report the incident to the police, but rather took the deceased to a herbalist in Ogun State, where they extracted the pellets from his body.

“He later took Oloruntoba to his brother’s house in the Ipaja area of Lagos State, where he died. As a follow up to the incident, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, Hakeem Odumosu, directed that police detectives be mobilised to hunt the suspects linked to the killing.

“During the investigation, the owner of the Shawarma spot, Chimezie Amaechi; the deceased's friend, Kazeem Okikiola; the Manager of the Avid Bar, Olayinka Oyedokun, and his friends, Femi Victor, Taiwo Morokola, and Omole Wasiu were arrested. These suspects are giving useful information that can assist the police in the investigation.

“Meanwhile, the CP, Hakeem Odumosu, has ordered the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Panti, Yaba, to take over the case for discreet investigation.”

SHARWAMA from Hell

Cha E! That's Too Bad, Infact, Poverty Na Big Disease.

Ordinary sharwama ?
It keeps going from bad to worse
Is clearly the guns that differentiate a uniform personnel from the civilians
Everyone bahaving anyhow in this country
Just like play like play
A life is gone
It is finished

See what Shawama from "Anu Nnama" caused

Sharwama is also banned or what

70 percent of people in Lagos are mentally unstable including the ones with suit...one need to be very careful in public.

Hmmmm

Chai

Nigeria police na really craze oh.
So the friend now na suspect abi

This is one of the reasons why we need to have CCTV cameras at strategic points, this would have made it easy to identify and apprehend the culprit

Its always good to keep heads cool, that guy died from a frds altercations with a stranger. Another lesson is Patience. Its a virtue we should all pray for. Lastly, in every thing we do, let love leads. Conclusively, what will be will be, RIP to the dead.

Too bad

Good morning

See madness everywhere

At least the first hospital could have treated him. What a sad story rest in peace young man

On top sharwama.... chai, damburuba

Customer from hell

If this is true it's a horrible tragedy.
But in 2020 why do hospital's still reject accident and robbery victim's ?
Life is this country is worthless.
Except your a Vagabond in Power

I think it is good that we are moving forward and backward always from the GUN POINT!

Na wa oh

A dog izza dog

Chai! Unto say wetin.psycho full this country o no be small.

They're arresting shawama seller and bar owner plus his friends.Are they the ones that shot the gun? The culprit is still on the loose... NPF don't be like our politicians Abeg!

How much is a bag of cement in your area, it's 3300 per bag here

Too bad.

archaic police institutions .. u guys need a lot of training.. but the most bizarre of all in diz tragedy is that in 21st century amongst committee of progressive nations we still require police reports to save lives diz is barbaric the state should be held for Negligent homicide..the Friends u arrested should arrest u instead because they attempted to save him through ur institutions but u failed them..

U guys are doomed!

Don't try removing a bullet outside of a hospital setting if you're near one. You might make bleeding worse, damage tissue and cause death
