Gunmen Invade Ebute-meta In Lagos, Kill 4, Injure 20 by Atom57(m): 1:29pm On Dec 09, 2015
LAGOS—Suspected cultists on Monday invaded the Ebute-Meta area of Lagos State, killing four persons and injuring twenty others.

Residents said the gunmen who wore masks and operated for about one hour without any resistance from security agencies, drove into the community at about 9.30pm in two cars and shot sporadically at residents of Odofin, Kano, Jebba, Osolake and Bello Streets.

When Vanguard visited the community on Tuesday, a team of policemen from the Denton Police station and the Rapid Response Squad were seen patrolling the community.

According to a police source, the team of policemen stormed the Ebute Onipomo area, a slum community, close to where the shooting took place and arrested four persons in connection with the shooting.

The police source also stated that three corpses were recovered from the scene of the shooting at Ebute-Onipomo in the wee hours of Tuesday.

When contacted over the incident, the Chief (Baale,) of the Okobaba community, Alhaji Musbau Junadu said his son is among the residents shot by the gun men.

He said: “I left Odofin Street for my house but as I was parking my car, I got a phone call that gun men were shooting. I hurried back and saw that my son, Muheed, was shot on his two legs. He is a footballer but they want to render him useless. I am at the Igbobi hospital to ensure that he survives.

“My son and other residents shot by the robbers have been taken to the hospital for treatment. I cannot tell you who these people (gun men) are or where they came from. One Kazeem died from the gun shot he sustained”

It was further gathered that the gunmen were repelled from attacking residents at Apapa Road by a combined team of policemen and the vigilante group. Musbau Agbodimu, secretary of the Vigilante Goup of Nigeria in Lagos said: “We learned that the gunmen stormed the area and started shooting sporadically.”

This is bad.

I hear lagos is getting bad.

As congested as this area is? They could come in and shoot for almost an hour? And still get away? Interesting.

This is really serious. A group of gun men will just storm an area, shooting and killing at their own pleasure, without any swift reaction from nearby security forces. It is indeed sad. Nigeria, where are we headed?

The new helicopters, boats and cars which were launched for the NPF to Combate crime are parked somewhere, awaiting the usage of a politician to grace the attendance of a social event. undecided

Hope, the social media bill hasn't been passed yet? embarassed

Our security agents will always be no where to be found when the action is going down, but after all is said and done, you see them coming out to flex their muscles on innocent citizens. I feel sorry for the innocent ones arrested. RIP to the departed.

The police shouldn't be blamed for this cos at least they showed up and this happens in other countries. The people leaving theses should have informed the police quickly or their vigilante group. But what's it with cultism in this country self!
