Lagos NURTW Mile 12 Chairman Chief ‘Arikuyeri’ Murdered In Broad Daylight

There was pandemonium on Sunday afternoon as suspected cult members murdered the Mile 12 Branch Chairman of the Lagos State Park Management Committee, Sulaimon Lawal, popularly known as Arikuyeri.

Suspected loyalists and colleagues of the slain transport union member went on a rampage at Owode Elede, Mike 12, Ketu Owode Onirin and other parts of the community, attacking residents and passers-by.

The battle over supremacy in motor parks around the Mile 12 area of the state resulted in an exchange of gunfire between the warring cult gangs.

In a video circulating the internet, Ariku can be seen lying helpless as unknown individuals machete him to death.

The police spokesperson in Lagos, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the tragic incident on Sunday. He said security operatives had restored normalcy. “One person is dead, but normalcy has been restored. Police are on the ground,” Mr Hundeyin said.
