Lagos State Police Command has arrested six suspects who have questions to answer for the  shooting and killing of one Kayode Olorunroba, male, thirty-five years, of No 3, Werewere Street, Alagbado, last Friday at AVID Sharwama spots, Alagbado area of Lagos State. 

According to the command, the incident occurred on at about 9.30pm when the deceased had an altercation at the spot with another customer, who is now at large.  


The Command says after the shooting, Kayode’s friend and a witness, one Okikiola Kazeem, male who had earlier called Kayode to join him at the Sharwama 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. 


Kazeem later took Kayode to his brother’s house at Ipaja Area, where he gave up the ghost.


As a follow up to the incident, the Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, directed that police detectives be mobilised and hunt for the suspects who were linked to the killing.

The suspects are giving useful information that can assist the police in the investigation. 

Meanwhile, the Police has ordered the State CID, Panti, to take over the case for discreet investigation, while reiterating his commitment to rid the state of crimes and criminality with the support of all and sundry in the state.
