Tragedy struck at an NNPC petrol station in Obalende, Lagos, as Toheeb Eniafe lost his life in a heart-wrenching shooting incident. Late Wednesday, chaos erupted when Eniafe, waiting in line for fuel, confronted two individuals attempting to jump the queue, believed to be military personnel.
Eyewitnesses recounted a tense exchange escalating into violence, resulting in Eniafe being fatally shot. The incident, emblematic of the struggles amid fuel scarcity, has plunged the community into mourning and fear.
Amid conflicting reports, residents allege the involvement of Department of State Services (DSS) personnel, citing their branded attire. However, DSS spokesperson Peter Afunnaya refuted these claims.
The aftermath saw vehicles ablaze and Eniafe’s body taken for investigation. As authorities delve into the matter, the community grapples with the loss, seeking justice for the fallen youth.
