By Francis Oguntulu, the Deputy Chief of Staff to the Chairman of Oshodi-Isolo Local Government, has reportedly died after being shot at a party in the Oshodi area of Lagos.
It was learnt that unknown gunmen stormed the private function held on Friday night, and attacked guests including Oguntulu and his friends. The assailants reportedly shot in the air to scare away residents in the area.
Oguntulu, who was said to have sustained multiple gun wounds and stabbed by the attackers, was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.
But efforts to save his life proved abortive, as the doctors pronounced him dead on Saturday morning.
Reacting to the tragic news, the Council Chairman, Kehinde Oloyede described Oguntulu’s death as shocking and highly devastating, adding the remains of the deceased have been deposited at the mortuary.
Mourning his aide, Oloyede tasked the Lagos State Police Command to fish out the perpetrators.
“As we mourn Goke, I appeal to our party men and women and all residents of our dear council to remain calm as we have asked the Police to investigate the matter. We will never leave any stone unturned in this case. We will work hand in hand with the Police in the course of their investigations to unmask those behind the act,” he said.
