Rights groups have raised the alarm over what they described as the alleged disappearance of the prime suspect in the killings of Mr Sheriff Ishola Salami and Prince Kazeem Ademola Akinloye of Ajiran in Eti-Osa Local Government Area of Lagos State.
Sheriff Salami was reportedly ambushed and killed in Moba, Eti-Osa Local Government Area, on April 18, 2023, while Prince Kazeem Akinloye was allegedly murdered along Chevron Drive on August 26, 2024.
PUNCH Metro had earlier reported the arrest and arraignment of the prime suspect, who is alleged to have masterminded both killings.
Speaking during a press conference on Friday, the groups questioned the whereabouts of the suspect after he was allegedly rejected by the Ikoyi Correctional Centre on medical grounds, despite an order by Justice Muyideen of the Igbosere High Court remanding him there pending further proceedings.
Leading the call on behalf of the grieving families and residents of Ajiran, the President of the Centre for Human and Socio-Economic Rights, Comrade Alex Omotehinse, said the community had been left traumatised by the killings.
