Felix, who is a trader in Adigbe, said the gunmen invaded their house as she and her daughter who is the mother of the victim were entering the house.
“Last night (Saturday), as we got to the entrance of the house, the boy opened the gate for us. Suddenly, he screamed. We thought he was bitten by a Scorpion, but, as I was about to get down from the car to know what happened, I saw four gunmen already stood beside my car while two were at the gate and prevented the boy from closing the gate.
“I asked them what did we do? We gave them our two bags. They collected the bags and also the phones of Gbolahan and his mother.
“As they were taking him away I held one of them by his cloth and insisted they should take me instead of him, they dragged us to the ground and started shooting,” she narrated.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Abimbola Oyeyemi, has not made any comments regarding the incident yet.
