The victims died between Thursday night and Friday morning as groups, suspected to be Eiye and Aiye confraternities, engaged in supremacy battle in the area.
The state police command has, therefore, drafted anti-riot policemen from the Rapid Response Squad, Surulere divisional police station, Bode Thomas police station and Area C police command to the scene, to forestall further breakdown of law and order. More after the cut...
It was gathered that the two brothers must have been part of the target of the operation, but the pregnant woman got hit by stray bullet.
The two brothers were relaxing at a bar close to Shitta Primary School, when some gunmen suspected to be cultists arrived at the scene and started shooting into the air. One of which was identified as Mufu, died on the spot, while the pregnant woman died on the way to the hospital.
May their soul rest in peace.
