MORE AFTER THE CUT.................................
His wife, Eniola, said her husband had returned from Port Harcourt where he relocated to due to threats to his life.She said;“My husband is very popular in this community. Because of that, whenever there was a fight involving his friends and people’s property were destroyed, the police would arrest him.“He became unhappy with the bad name they were giving him, and he called them and said he wanted to quit street fighting. “He met other cult groups and appealed to them to embrace peace and lay down their weapons.”She said the groups agreed to a truce in December last year.Eniola said one of her husband’s friends shot him at a party in April, adding that he narrowly escaped.“From that time, he stopped coming to the house and started lodging in a hotel nearby.“When the stress became too much for him, he decided to relocate to Port Harcourt. While he was away, there was another bloody clash in Bajulaiye and Ebute; two people were killed. When he heard, he was disturbed and told his friends to stop the fighting. He wondered what they were fighting for.”It was learnt that the victim later returned to Lagos on Wednesday, June 3, to look after his family and perfect plans to travel outside the country. “When he arrived, he called one of those boys, who he trusted, and told him that he only came to get his travelling documents,” Eniola added.
It was learnt that the victim went to a club on Friday, when the gang attacked and abducted him.
