Oluwasegun Adegbenjo, 38, a tailor, resides in
Oke-Abiaye, in the Alagbado area of Lagos State was shot dead in an uncompleted
building where he had gone purportedly to meet someone.
The yet-to-be identified gunmen did not steal anything
from the deceased. His jeep, which he drove by himself to the site, was also
left untouched at the scene of the murder.
The source said,
“Adegbenjo is
a popular tailor who had a shop in the Ikotun area of Lagos. He was also into
fashion designing. He lived with his family in Iju-Ota, Ogun State.“On the
fateful day, which was January 28, around 11pm, he had closed from shop and
driven down to Oke-Abiaye in Alagbado. The place is a deserted area and people
don’t live there. But you could find some uncompleted buildings around.“He
parked his jeep and came out before he was shot dead by some unknown persons.
There was no stain of blood in his car and nothing was stolen.”
“The police are still on the case and hopefully, his
telephone, which was not taken away, could provide useful hints on what
happened to him.
“But we are working on a theory that he went into a
business deal with someone who then decided to kill him. He must have been into
a deal, which is still under investigation.”
The Police Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Nwosu, said,
“Yes, it happened. The man was killed and no suspect has been arrested yet.
“The case, as we speak, has been transferred to the State
Criminal Investigation Department.
