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.
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.
