Gunmen, on Sunday, shot dead a motorcyclist identified as Ashimiu Lawal and took his motorcycle away in the Leme area of Abeokuta South Local Government Area of Ogun State.

 

 

The lifeless body of the victim was taken to an undisclosed morgue by men of the State Police Command in the early hours of Sunday.

 

 

It was gathered that there was a bullet wound on Lawal’s body.

 

 

A relative of the deceased, Akintunde Sanni, explained that a passerby, who saw Lawal’s lifeless body by the road, rushed to inform his family about the incident.
