was allegedly shot dead at Ibeju Lekki area of Lagos,
yesterday, during the ongoing distribution of Permanent
Voters’ Card, PVC, by the Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC.
The deceased, identified as Sikiru Ogboye, was allegedly
shot dead at Oriledu, Ibeju Lekki, by suspected thugs while
he was monitoring the PVC distribution. Vanguard learnt
that the incident was reported at Ajiwe Police Station, Ajah,
following which the culprits were reportedly arrested.
A chieftain of PDP in the state, Chief Bode Oyedele,
condemned the killing and blamed the All Progressives
Congress, APC, for the incident.
It was learned that a governorship aspirant on the platform
of the APC, (name withheld) was being questioned by the
police in connection with the killing.
Lagos State Police Commissioner, Mr. Kayode Aderanti,
confirmed last night that the APC governorship aspirant was
being questioned over the incident, saying a pump action
gun was found in his car. He said: “It is true; I warned
earlier that anybody, no matter how lowly or highly placed,
found with illegally acquired weapon must answer for it.
The man needs to tell us what he was doing with a pump
action found in his car and if his explanations are not
satisfactory, we’ll take him to court.”
