has been recorded in the centre of Lagos politics, the
Lagos Island. A popular local politician named Azeez
Ashake was shot dead at close range in front of his
house at Isale Eko on Saturday September 20th by
suspected political thugs.
His son, Usman was also shot but is said to still be
alive receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital
in Lagos Island. Azeez Ashake is said to be a strong
leader of a particular political group in Lagos Island,
and is said to be very influential. His killing caused a
lot of chaos in Isale Eko over the weekend, where it's
been reported that four people have so far been
killed in retaliation for his death.
The police tried over the weekend to restore peace to
the area. Several policemen and police patrol vans
were deployed to the area, but this didn't stop
political thugs from fighting at intervals.
