A naval rating, OS Harrison, was, at the weekend, killed by unknown gunmen in the Ajegunle area of Lagos State.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the killing, adding that nobody has been arrested in connection with the killing.
Hundeyin said: “It is true, a naval officer was killed. Investigation has started, but nobody has been arrested yet.”
The deceased naval officer was, until his death, serving at the Lagos Logistics Depot of the Nigerian Navy. His body has been deposited at the Nigerian Navy Hospital morgue in Ojo. The killing of the naval officer occurred less than a year after a female officer was reportedly killed in the same area.
It was gathered that the killing of the officer has created serious panic as his colleagues have threatened to avenge his death.
Meanwhile, the authority of the Nigerian Navy has cautioned its officers in the area against moving around in the night.
A resident of Ajegunle, who pleaded anonymity, said, “We still live in fear. We heard that his colleagues want to avenge his death.
