A sense of unease has settled over the Ajiran community in Agungi, Lekki, Lagos State, following the brutal murder of Demola, the eldest son of the Ojomu of Ajiran land, Tijani Akinloye.
The shocking incident occurred on Monday along Chevron Drive, near Ebano Supermarket.
According to a reliable source who wished to remain anonymous due to the sensitive nature of the matter, the community is now largely deserted as residents flee in fear of the escalating tension.
A statement circulating among residents reads: “This is to inform all residents that the son of the Ajiran (Agungi) king was assassinated this morning along Chevron Drive, close to Ebano Supermarket.
“We therefore plead to our esteemed residents to avoid Chevron area, Agungi and Ajiran for now for their safety.”
When contacted, the spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, said he was not privy to the matter, assuring that he would brief our correspondent when he gets the information.
