Tragedy struck in the Apongbon area of Lagos State on Friday as three men were reportedly killed following a raid by men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad on some members of the community.
According to an eyewitness, a member of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, identified simply as Yellow, was said to have led men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad and some suspected cultists to arrest some young men in the area.
The young men, according to the source, witnessed an attack that the NURTW member allegedly initiated against his opponents in the area a few weeks ago, which led to the death of one person.
The source said that around 9:30pm on Friday, Yellow led the SARS men and cultists to arrest those men by the waterside. The SARS operatives were from the Gbagada Police Division and they were in uniform. So, immediately the boys saw them, 10 of them ran towards the lagoon to escape.
The source said, “An NURTW member, Yellow, was the one who mobilised men of the SARS and some cultists to the waterside in Apongbon to arrest some people in the community. A few weeks ago, Yellow, who is from the area, led some hoodlums to attack his NURTW opponents in the area and in the process, someone was killed. Some of the men he wanted to arrest were witnesses to the attack and had been trailing him since then.”
After the end, three bodies were recovered from the Lagoon with their bodies riddled with bullet holes.
