A yet-to-be-identified tricycle rider was k!lled by a stray bullet outside a brothel in the Badore area of Ajah, Lagos State. It was gathered that the deceased had gone to the brothel to relax after the days work, but later stepped out to purchase an item from a nearby shop. A police source in the area, who spoke to punch on Wednesday, October 22, 2025 on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak on the matter, said the assailants, whose number could not be ascertained, thereafter stormed the area on October 12, and began shooting sporadically One of the stray bullets struck the tricycle rider, k!lling him on the spot. We were told that the man had just finished work that evening and went to the brothel to relax and have fun. Shortly after, he stepped out to buy bottled water since the one sold inside was a bit expensive. While he was at a nearby shop, some men believed to be cultists drove past the area and started shooting aimlessly. One of the bullets hit him, and he died instantly, the source narrated. A resident who was privy to the incident told the publication that the attack was carried out by suspected cultists.  We discovered that the shooting was cult-related. Although we did not know their numbers, those who witnessed it said they were in a blue Toyota Corolla when they drove past the area while shooting anyhow before the man was hit by a bullet," the resident said.  The spokesperson for the Lagos police command, Abimbola Adebisi, who confirmed the incident said the lifeless body of the deceased was found on the spot in the morning. The attention of the police was called to the incident the following morning, and his corpse was found where the incident had happened. His body was taken to the morgue. His family was contacted, and the body has been handed over to them for burial, the PPRO said. The post Stray bullet k!lls tricycle rider as he steps out of Lagos brothel appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
