In a heartbreaking turn of events, Toheeb Eniafe lost his life after being shot at a petrol station in Obalende, Lagos State. The incident occurred late on Wednesday and has left the local community in shock.
According to eyewitnesses, Eniafe was patiently waiting in the queue to purchase fuel when two men, believed to be military officers, attempted to bypass the line. Despite the long wait, Eniafe stood up for fairness and urged the men to join the queue like everyone else.
The situation escalated into a heated argument, and tragically, one of the men pulled out a gun and shot Eniafe. The young man fell to the ground, and the assailant fled the scene. Eyewitnesses confirmed that the officers were not policemen but rather members of the Department of State Services (DSS).
As fuel scarcity continues to grip Nigeria, tensions run high at filling stations, leading to increased transport fares and lengthy queues. Eniafe’s untimely death serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of impatience and violence.
