a fashion designer in the Itu-Nla, Ikorodu area of
Lagos State as local residents scamper for safety
Segun Shop
A fashion designer named Segun Sowemimo, has been
shot dead on Saturday around 12pm in the Itu-Nla,
Ikorodu area of Lagos State by some unknown
gunmen, who disguised as customers.
According to a report by Punch Metro, pandamonium
were reported in the community when the four
assailants who also brought a big stone in a
polythene bag, shot sporadically after leaving Segun’s
shop, forcing residents to scamper to safety.
Speaking to a correspondent on Monday, Segun’s
younger brother, Abiodun, said the gunmen warned his
brother’s apprentice in the shop to cooperate, or else
they would also kill her, adding that the police had yet
to arrest any suspect after the incident was reported at
the Igbogbo Police Division.
He said, “It was exactly at 20 minutes to 12pm that we
heard the gunshots. My brother was in his shop. He
was working when the four men walked in like
customers, and pointed guns at him.
“There was a woman and a little girl in the shop with
him. The gunmen warned the woman that if she made
any noise, they would kill her and the girl. After killing
my brother, they started shooting into the air.
“Segun was married with two children. His wife and
children have been taken to a safe place. He grew up in
this compound and had been working here for as long
as I can remember. The assailants walked in like
customers.”
Also speaking to a reporter, the woman, who was in
the shop, said, “The four men had guns. One of them
also carried a big stone in a polythene bag. As they
shot Segun, they hit his head with the stone.”
It was gathered that last week, there were cult clashes
and killings in Itu Nla, Anibaba, Allison and Oba Ale
areas of Ikorodu.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP
Dolapo Badmos, said the police recorded one death.
“There was a cult clash in the area, which led to the
death of one. The police are on the trail of the
culprits,” she said.
