Narrating how the incident that led to the death of the deceased occurred, Adejobi said, “The incident occurred on 11/09/2020 at about 9.30pm when the deceased had an altercation at the spot with another customer, who is now at large.
After the shooting, Kayode’s friend and witness, one Okikiola Kazeem, ‘m’, who had earlier called him (Kayode) to join him at the Sharwama spot refused to report the incident to the police, but rather took the deceased to a herbalist in Ogun State where they extracted the pellets.
