Lagos Residents Cry Out Over Incessant Shootings At LG Secretariat
Some residents of Ajeromi/Ifelodun Local Government Area of Lagos State have raised alarm over incessant shootings inside the council secretariat.
The Tide’s source gathered that the shooting had created fear in the residents, forcing some to run away from their homes to avoid stray bullets.
The source learnt that on Sept. 18, there were sporadic gunshots within the council secretariat, which saw many running for dear life following the booming of guns.
It was gathered that the gunshots were carried out by some suspected cultists called “Agbalajobi Boys” allegedly doing the bidding of a senior council official (name withheld).
The source further learnt that when the alleged council official was challenged over the incessant shootings by some political leaders in the area, the official claimed that “he was trying to test the efficacy of his newly acquired bullet proof charm.”
“As if the September 18 shooting was not enough, the police orderly to the said council official held another round of shootings on September 20, thus becoming a norm in the Ajegunle council secretariat.
“These cultists move around during the day with guns unmolested or check by the security agencies.
