Aggrieved family members of a civil servant, Abiodun Adenuga, have called on the Lagos State Police Command to track down the gunmen who shot him at the Sindende Guest House in the Agege area of the state.
It was gathered that the victim lodged at the guesthouse on October 6.
Around 1.30am, no fewer than four masked men were said to have invaded the facility, as they robbed staff and lodgers, including Abiodun.
During the robbery, the assailants allegedly shot the father of four in the chest and dispossessed him of his phone and office documents.
Abiodun’s sister, Adebisi, said the 56-year-old, who was found in a pool of blood in his room, was rushed to the Surgical and Emergency Unit of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, for treatment.
She stated that no fewer than 11 bullets were extracted from her brother’s chest during a surgery, adding that Abiodun later succumbed to the injuries he sustained during the attack.
Adebisi said the multiple gunshots at her brother indicated that the intent was to assassinate him, adding that the bullets damaged most of the organs in his body.
The victim’s daughter, Yinka, said her father usually lodged in the guesthouse whenever he closed late from work, adding that he had been using the facility for about 15 years.
It was gathered that Abiodun was buried last Friday at his residence on Banana Estate Phase 1, Igbe Laara, in the Igbogbo Bayeku Local Council Development Area of the state.
