The motive for the dastardly act could not be ascertained by our
correspondent as at the time of filing this report. It was gathered that
the incident has been reported to the police.
Family sources disclosed that Omokoleola was invited from his home
through a phone call he received at about 12 noon on Tuesday.
Unknown to him, the phone call was a bait for him to come out of his
home. On getting to where his killers made the call asking him to meet
with some of his friends, he was shot in the head and his attackers
escaped.
The assailants went away with his phone after shooting him apparently to
prevent the victim’s relatives from discovering the identity of the
caller who lured him out of home.
Family sources said further that he was preparing to take his breakfast
when the call came and by the tone of his response, the caller was a
familiar person to the deceased. It was gathered that passers-by who
knew his parents reported the incident to them.
By the time his parents and relatives arrived the scene of the attack,
he was still breathing and was rushed to the Olabisi Onabanjo University
Teaching Hospital (OOUTH), Sagamu where he later died. Omokoleola was
in Ijebu Ode to attend the wedding of his sister which took place last
Saturday and was about going back to school with his bags packed before
he was shot dead.
