Gunmen kill UNILAG undergraduate attempting to recover colleague’s stolen iPhone

An undergraduate of the University of Lagos, identified simply as Adekunle, has been shot dead by armed robbers at Harvey Road, Moore Road Junction, in the Yaba area of the state.

It was gathered that Adekunle and his colleague identified simply as Opeyemi boarded a shuttle bus from Yaba to UNILAG and while in the vehicle, a man, who was hanging at the back of the bus, dispossessed Opeyemi of her iPhone 7 plus.

Aggrieved by the development, Opeyemi raised the alarm and Adekunle, in a desperate attempt to retrieve the phone from the robber who jumped down from the bus and fled, chased after him.

Upon observing that Adekunle was closing in on the suspect, it was learnt that one of the hoodlums suspected to be working with the fleeing suspect came out of nowhere and shot the 23-year-old. (PUNCH)
