Graduate's head crushed with hammer, rock... becomes 3rd victim of street murder

A 30-year-old university graduate, Sodiq Shittu, has been gruesomely murdered by unidentified hoodlums in Mushin area of Lagos State.

According to a Punch report, Shittu, who has a pregnant wife, was attacked on Lawani Street by hoodlums.

One of them split his head open with a hammer before another crushed his head with a large rock.

Reports say Shittu is the third person on the street to be killed in such attacks within three months.

A truck loader, identified as Gbenga, was killed in March for his political activities while a tricycle driver, Debo Oturu, was shot and killed during a visit to his mother on May 19.

A female resident of the area told Punch that the government has not done anything despite the continuous violence.

“In March, somebody was killed on the street. Less than three weeks ago, they also murdered another person," she said.

“And now, they have killed him. What did the government do?

"Or are they waiting for them to kill all the people in the area before they act?”"

Shittu's corpse was reportedly taken by Policemen from the Alakara Division and deposited at a mortuary in the Morocco, Somolu area of the state.
