Three killed in Ebute-Metta gang wars



Three persons have been allegedly killed at Ebute-Metta in the last two days by gang members fighting for supremacy.

The latest casualty was a student of The Polytechnic, Ibadan, Oyo State, identified as 'D1', Dayo Olaniyi.
Residents said the gang war in the area took a frightening dimension on Thursday, when a gang known as 'Otto boyz' went on rampage in reprisal for the alleged killing of some of their members.

Olaniyi, 26, was allegedly killed in retaliation for the gruesome killing of Akeem Omisore and Wasiu Alarape, on Wednesday.

"D1 belonged to a rival gang known as the Apapa Road Fagbayimu group. The two gangs have been at logger heads over the control of petty business parks, transport and traders unions at Ebute-Metta; the killing is a show of supremacy by the gangs," a resident who requested anonymity said.

It was gathered that the gang members, numbering about 30 and clad in T-shirts and Jeans, stormed Moshood Abiola Way along Apapa Road, shooting indiscriminately.

They were also said to have been wielding machetes and other dangerous weapons.  

Olaniyi was reportedly shot to death at Iya Agan Street in the area, while gang members escaped before the arrival of the police.
