“Then they pulled out a cutlass. He got out of the car and they whisked him away in their vehicle. The gunmen were six in number and they had masks on.”

This story was substantiated by @RealMabel99 who said the gunmen used a cutlass on the victim’s leg.

She said, “They later took him, after using a cutlass to cut his leg. I was there. People couldn’t do anything because the men were armed and wore masks. This Lagos is no longer safe. I’m still in shock till now.”

Also a user identified as @NwaoguMarvis, claimed he usually took the route to work, said he saw a crowd at the scene.

He wrote, “Nowhere is safe in Nigeria anymore. For this to happen at Medical Road at 8am?”

Lagos State Police Command spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident.

He said, “I am aware of the situation. It was as narrated on social media. We have commenced investigation; we have leads. But we are not saying much about it so we don’t jeopardise investigation.”
