A yet-to-be-identified graduate of the Lagos State University is battling for his life after he was shot by suspected armed robbers who trailed a Point of Sale operator to her residence in the Igando area of Lagos State.

PUNCH Metro learnt on Tuesday that the incident occurred on Sunday on Kayode Onafuye Street in the Alhaji Ede area of the community.

Our correspondent gathered from eyewitnesses that the robbers, who arrived on two motorcycles, stormed a bungalow in the area in search of the PoS operator.

The four-man gang, however, failed to locate their target after they were unable to force their way into the building.

An eyewitness who identified himself simply as Bode said the development angered the robbers, who subsequently opened fire indiscriminately, with one of the bullets hitting the graduate.
