Thugs kill one, injure six in Lagos attack

Residents of Glover Street in the Lagos Island
area on Monday said they had yet to get over
how some thugs, said to be loyalists of a
political party, attacked youths returning from
a campaign rally on Saturday, and hacked one
of them to death.
PUNCH Metro gathered that the deceased,
Jubril Sulaimon, along with other youths were
returning from the All Progressives Congress
rally held at the Ports Authority area in Apapa
when they were attacked by the thugs at
about 5pm.
Our correspondent learnt that while others
escaped with bullet wounds, Sulaimon was
pursued, hacked with cutlass and left for
dead.
It was gathered that some residents later
rushed Sulaimon to the Lagos Island General
Hospital where he died on Sunday.
A resident claimed that the gun-wielding
thugs came back on Sunday and went to
Adeniji Adele Road, which made shop owners
to close shops, while others scampere for
safety.
Policemen from the Adeniji Adele Division
were said to have arrived at the scene and
made some arrests.
When PUNCH Metro visited the area on
Monday, one of the injured youths, Sunday
Marcus, said most of them wore the APC
shirts and hand bands, which he believed the
thugs noticed.
