A member of the National Union of Road Transport Workers has been shot dead at Abijo Bus Stop in the Ibeju-Lekki area of Lagos State.

The victim, identified as Kamoru Omokoye, was reportedly attacked around 9 a.m. on Sunday by two men suspected to be cultists.

The assailants allegedly arrived at the bus stop in an unregistered Lexus RX 350 before opening fire on Omokoye and fleeing the scene.

Victim Dies in Hospital

A police source in the community told PUNCH that Omokoye was shot in the head during the attack.

He was reportedly rushed to the Federal Medical Centre, Epe, for treatment but was pronounced dead by a doctor on duty.

Following the incident, detectives visited the scene and searched the surrounding area in an effort to identify and apprehend the attackers.

Three Others Reportedly Injured

An anti-cultism advocacy platform, Naija Confra, said Omokoye, also known as “Zobo,” was sitting at a drinking spot where local gin, popularly called ogogoro, was being sold when the attackers arrived.

The platform reported that several people fled when the shooting began, while at least three others sustained gunshot injuries.

It also said Omokoye had previously worked at Awoyaya Bus Stop before moving to GRA Bus Stop and was the father of an eight-month-old child.

The claims by the advocacy platform have not been independently verified.

Police Begin Investigation

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Adebisi, confirmed the killing.

Adebisi said the command had commenced an investigation into the incident.

The identities and whereabouts of the attackers remain unknown, while police investigators are working to establish the motive for the shooting and apprehend those responsible.

The latest killing adds to concerns over suspected cult-related violence in parts of Lagos, with the police continuing investigations into several recent attacks across the state.
