BREAKING NEWS: Ogun Vigilante Service Kills a Student and MTN Staff
Vigilante Service of Ogun State (VSO) men allegedly shot dead a student of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta; Moruf Raji, 29, and a staff of MTN, Akeem Usman ,32, while chasing suspected armed robbers. The incident occurred at Adigbe, Abeokuta about 1.00am on Sunday when a team of Vigilance Service reportedly ordered residents of 18A Sorinola Avenue, Ori yanrin, to open the gate for them to arrest suspected armed robbers believed to be hiding in the building.
An eye witness told Vanguard that some of the residents who were mostly students refused to open the gate thinking that the vigilantes were armed robbers that were trying to play smart on them.
The witness further explained that both Moruf and Akeem went out from their rooms and opened the gate
for them but, as the duo were attempting to open the gate, one of the men of VSO opened fire on the two men and killed them.
It is also reported that men of the VSO still went ahead to force their way into the compound after shooting the two men and ransacked the rooms.
