UNILAG Security Chief Assassinated at Beer
Parlour in Lagos
Those who kill fellow human beings, I wonder if
their conscience is made of stone. Suspected
assassins have killed the Head of Operations,
Security Unit, University of Lagos, Mr. Sunday
Adejumo.
The 50-year-old was shot dead at a beer parlour
on Oyenuga Street in Akoka area of Lagos on
Friday.
A resident, who did not identify himself, said the
owner of the drinking house had been arrested
and was being interrogated at the Bariga Police
Station over the unfortunate incident.
He said, �The incident happened around 8.30pm
on Friday. We suddenly heard gunshots and we
all rushed into our different houses because we
did not know what exactly happened. It was later
we learnt that one of those in the beer parlour
was killed.
�It was not a robbery because they did not steal
anything or injure anybody else. Immediately they
killed him, they left.�
Punch learnt that Adejumo on the fateful night
was in the joint with three of his friends when
some strange faces stormed the pub. They were
said to have headed straight for their target
where he sat and hit him in the chest, before
firing shots at him. The gunshots caused
confusion in the area.
According to Punch report, the deceased died
minutes later because he could not get help on
time.
Another source, who pleaded anonymity, said the
late Adejumo might have been killed by cultists.
He said, �When the gang got in, they went to
where he was sitting. They had different weapons,
ranging from cutlasses to guns. One of them
went to him, hit him in the chest and he fell
down. He then brought out a gun and shot him
point blank.
�On the table where he was drinking with his
friends were a pay slip, his ATM cards and his car
key.
