One of the victims, identified as Azeez aka Anene, a member of the Aiye group, was shot dead in a building along Bello Street, Sabo, Sagamu, while another one was shot in the head in the Ajaka area of the town.
According to reports, the life of an SS3 student was cut short at a local barber’s shop in Sabo area of the town.
