| Olamide |
The residents of Bank Olemoh Street,
Surulere, Lagos, were terrified on Monday when two gunmen shot dead
Olamide George, a 25-year-old deejay.
According to eyewitnesses, the
assassination was carried out at about 2pm while George was
with friends
under a tree, popularly known as Abe Igi.
When Punch Metro visited Bank Olemoh Street on Tuesday, police vehicles were seen patrolling the street.
Two residents, who pleaded anonymity,
said the deceased was an ‘internet businessman’. One of them said the
likely motivation for his assassination was a N2 million deal he just
concluded.
They added George just rented and furnished an apartment at Apapa Road.
It was learnt that just before his
murder, George reportedly answered a phone call, and the caller
requested to know where he was. George answered that he was at Abe Igi.
George’s father, Mr. Gbolahan George,
said, “I was told that the assassins were four and were in Keke Maruwa
(tricycle). They parked at the entrance of the street; two got down and
walked to where Olamide was sitting with his friends. The one with the
gun did not know him, so the other person who accompanied him pointed at
Olamide.
“Immediately Olamide was identified, he was shot in the head and the chest.”
