Men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) have allegedly shot dead a man in the Ilupeju area of Lagos.
The man identified simply as Francis was shot on Ajisegiri street in Ilupeju, Odiolowo Ojuwoye local council development area of Lagos early Monday, TheCable reported.
“The guy was in the area to sweep the compounds of his customers.
“The Ajisegiri area is notorious because of these boys who come there to smoke, and the area has always been raided by police. But this morning none of the boys was there, just this man going about his business. He was shot and he died almost immediately,” the online paper quoted a witness as saying.
The Lagos State Police Command has yet to confirm the incident.
The incident is coming barely five months after another young man, Kolade Johnson, was shot dead by men of the Special Anti-Cultism Squad in the Onipetesi area of Lagos.
