Tuesday, March 11, 2025 - Gunmen stormed a hotel in the Satellite Town area of Ojo, Lagos, and fatally shot a disc jockey (DJ) identified as Victor Dickson before fleeing the scene last Saturday, March 8.
It was gathered that the assailants, suspected to be cultists, invaded
the hotel around 9:30 pm and opened fire on the DJ, killing him instantly.
Confirming the incident, the Lagos State Police Public Relations
Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, said one of the suspected k!llers has been arrested
by homicide detectives, adding that efforts are underway to apprehend other
fleeing gang members.
Hundeyin said on March 8, 2025, at approximately 9:30 pm, the police
received a distress call about an armed attack at Gozzard Hotel on Community
Road, Abule Ado, Satellite Town.
Preliminary investigations suggest the attack was linked to an ongoing
cult rivalry in the area.
“A team of police detectives was immediately deployed to the scene. The
victim was rushed to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries. His remains
have been deposited at the Infectious Diseases Hospital (IDH) mortuary in Yaba
for autopsy,” Hundeyin said.
He further revealed that a thorough investigation, including a review of
CCTV footage, led to the identification and arrest of the suspected gang
leader, Christian Chukwudi, also known as “Marshall General.”
A locally made short gun and one live cartridge were recovered from him,
he added.
He said Chukwudi confessed to being a high-ranking member of the
notorious cult group responsible for the attack. Hundeyin further added that
efforts are being made to track down and apprehend other gang members involved.
