Passengers of a commercial bus were left shell-shocked as armed men blocked their vehicle and dragged out a man before butchering him on the road in broad daylight.

 

It was drama in Ikorodu as gunmen left commuters shell-shocked after by dragging a passenger down from a bus and butchering him on the road. It was gathered that the four men, wielding guns, cutlasses and daggers quickly made their way into the vehicle immediately they finished cutting the man.

 

The victim was identified as 40-year-old Olusola Bamidele. He was left in the pool of blood and was later confirmed dead at the hospital.

 

As the drama unfolded, other passengers took to their heels, while the driver and the conductor took the victim to the Ikorodu General Hospital where he was confirmed dead on arrival.

 

The corpse was later deposited in the mortuary by policemen from the Owode Onirin division. The incident happened at the Thomas bus stop end of the Ikorodu Road.

 

A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the victim was killed around 10pm on Friday.

 

He said, “There was confusion here that night. The driver was coming from Mile 12 and going inward Ikorodu. When he got to Thomas bus stop, the Camry, which had been trailing the bus, waylaid it. Four men came out of the car and entered the vehicle through the back door.

“They brought out their target and stabbed him in the neck and chest. When they were sure he was dead, they entered their car and drove away. There was a lot of blood on the road.”

  

A source said, “That same Camry carried out a similar operation three weeks back and a resident was killed.

“The man that was killed that time and this man, lived in Ikorodu. The manner of their death suggested it had something to do with cultism.

“It is also probable that there was someone in that bus giving information to the guys in the Camry on the movement of the bus and that was why they were able to double cross them at that point.”

 

The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, confirmed the incident, adding that the police were making efforts to arrest the suspects.
