Tension In Lagos Community Over The Dead Of Suspected Homosexual Rapist As Landlords,Chiefs Flee (Photo)

Three days after the death of a man suspected to be a homosexual rapist, Alhaji Tunji Alaso, and a 48-year-old man, Ganiyu Adebayo, in Temidire, Alagbado area of Lagos during a riot, some landlords and chiefs of the community have abandoned their houses in fear.

When Saturday Punch visited the community on Wednesday to assess the atmosphere, it became clear that there were fears that Alaso’s friends might launch a reprisal.

During the Monday riot, a few residents sustained injuries while an unconfirmed report said that another young man died from gunshot injuries, apart from Alaso and Adebayo.

When our correspondent spoke with the Baale of the Community, Alhaji Najimu Abioye, he explained that some of his chiefs, had been incommunicado, having fled their homes since the riot.

The phone numbers of the chiefs were also switched off when attempts were made to speak with them. Such was the extent of the palpable fear that has enveloped the area.

Alhaji Abioye told Saturday PUNCH, “Just today, we got a report that the late man’s boys (Alaso’s people) are compiling a list of people who would be dealt with as a result of his death.

“We were told that some of the landlords and chiefs might even be kidnapped. That is part of the reason there is fear in our community. We are not taking any chances. We would inform the Lagos State Commissioner of Police about this.”

He explained that Adebayo’s death was a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

“He was a young man who used to live here. He visited me once in a while. When he came here on Monday, he was informed that I was at the area of the protest. He only came there to see me, when he was shot. He died while we were taking him to the hospital,” the Baale said.
