Nightclub clash ends in Lagos man’s shooting death Panic as Gunmen Kill Man in Lagos After Nightclub Dispute.
There was panic on Friday night when a man identified simply as Alex was shot by suspected gunmen at Iyana Isashi in the Ojo Local Government Area of Lagos State.
The incident, which occurred around 8 pm, reportedly happened while Alex was on his way to meet a friend. According to residents, two men on a motorcycle intercepted him, and one of them pulled out a gun and shot him at close range.
Eyewitnesses said the sound of gunfire drew the attention of people in the area, who rushed to the scene and found Alex lying in a pool of blood while the gunmen fled on their bike. He was rushed to the hospital and placed on life support but succumbed to his injuries on Wednesday after days in a coma.
Alex, popularly known as Fleximore, was said to have been involved in a heated altercation with some unidentified men at a nightclub in the community a day before the attack. Some residents believe the shooting may have been connected to the confrontation.
A resident, Quadri:
“Alex hardly gets into trouble. He was easy-going, but we heard he argued and fought with some men at a club. That’s why many believe the shooting was linked to the incident.”
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Adebisi, said she was aware of the case but would confirm details from the divisional police officer in the area.
The Iba and Ojo areas, along the Lagos–Badagry Expressway, have in recent months witnessed a series of cult-related attacks, with residents calling for stronger police intervention.
Arrangements are reportedly ongoing for Alex’s burial….
