THE KILLER IN THE POOL OF HIS OWN BLOOD AFTER BEEN SHOT BY OPC MILITANTS IN A FIREFIGHT NEAR  THE SCENE OF THE CRIME

Facts are beginning to emerge on how Barrister Olakunle Fadipe was killed in front of members of his family at his Adeleke Odunga street residence in Harmony Estate in Ifako Ijaiye,Lagos Nigeria recently.

In an exclusive investigation by  Paedia Express Multimedia in Lagos, Nigeria ,a source within the Nigerian Police Force at Area G told this reporter albeit exclusively that the lone wolf was not an assassin but an armed robber.

 The source said that the killer was actually called Seun Adelabu and was about 25 years of age but he did not reveal  the state of his identity.

Mr Seun Adelabu is also known commonly by his nickname called “Agba”and is said to always move around in abike around the Ifako stadium where he is said to always be while playing soccer with his friends.

According to the police source the killer actually lived at Olufemi Ajayi Street within the Ifako Ijaiye axis before he relocated to Fagba area within the Iju Ishaga axis before committing his latest crime.

He explained that the armed robber had gone to the deceased home with the clear intent to rob as he had requested for a laptop,money and mobile phone which he was given but quickly added that instead of the initial N500,000 he wanted from the late lawyer in raw cash he only got a paltry sum of N20,000.

His words:”It was when Late Mr Kunle Fadipe discovered that he was alone and was on his way out of his compound that he then went to accost him by challenging him unarmed as the robber made to climb the fence through which eh had come into the compound initially”

“This was when he decided to fight back by using his dangerous weapons on the hapless victim which later had devastating consequence”

“in the course of our investigations we discovered that he has been to South Africa before now and only returned very recently and presently he has a visa to travel to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates ,it is not the first time that he has done this as this is how he earns his living”

“He was actually looking for money to enable him travel to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and this is our logical conclusions on the matter”

Sources later told Paedia Express Multimedia that a crack team of members of the Special  Anti-Robbery Squad of the Nigerian Police,Lagos Command have swung into a high gear action on the matter as they were seen combing the entire Olufemi Ajayi Street in Ifako –Ijaiye and his Fagba residence yesterday to possibly arrest other accomplice in the crime which has shaken the legal profession and the human right community to its foundations since it became public.

Another source told this reporter that he could not believe that with the late lawyers social standing he only lived alone with members of his family,the source also queried the rational behind the deceased not having an alarm at home  aside from other personal security measures.

Miss Jumoke Fagbamila ,a resident of Oko-Oba  told Paedia Express Multimedia in Lagos, Nigeria that a certain woman who she did not disclose her full identity but who recently lost her husband and attends the Redeem Christian Church of God:Jesus Embassy Parish  with the family of the deceased has still not been able to get over the tragedy as at press time because of the role Mr Fadipe played at her husband’s funeral and after that.

Paedia Express Multimedia  was also told that the late lawyer had not less than four close shaves with death before his unfortunate demise.

In 2004,a group of bandits said to  have numbered about 16 were said to have attacked him at his home  and it was an  Oodua Peoples Congress[O.P.C.]detachment led by one of its militant leaders simply called “Snake”that came to his rescue on that occasion .

There was a time  he is said to have escaped an attack at a petrol station ,in his office aside from an instance when he was said to have been shot at close quarters on the leg.

As at press time,cross examination and investigations by members of the Nigerian Police continues as there could be other leads to the crime in question.
