A man suspected to be a cultist alongside his gang members on Tuesday night shot dead a 28-year-old driver, Abraham Umar at Cele bus stop, Ijanikin, Lagos outskirts in order for him to date his girlfriend.

According to The Nation, Abraham popularly called Abi, was a commercial bus driver on Badagry expressway, Lagos.

The Nation gathered that Abraham had closed for the day on Tuesday night and went to eat at his girlfriend’s mother’s shop when a group of about nine boys surrounded him, shot him in the head and died on the spot.

Abraham’s distraught mother has been left in a state of shock since the incident. His sister, Aminat Umar said Abraham called her that Tuesday around 9:21 pm.

She said: “He (Abraham) asked if I was back from work and told me that he was on his way home.  About 10 minutes later, Peter and Naomi rushed to our house, shouting and banging on the gate that we should come out, saying ‘Abi had been shot at Cele Bus stop and that his body has been taken to the police station’.

“My mother and uncle quickly ran to the station but they were told that nobody was brought there.  They went to check at Ademola Hospital but they were told that the body was not brought there, so they went back to the police station. The police later admitted that the body was at the station, but they locked the body in the cell claiming he was a cultist.”

Abraham’s uncle, Muhammed Umaru, said the late Abraham had been receiving threat messages from some boys.
