According to reports, the young man pictured above, identified as Niyi has been having issues with his friend, identified as Santo, over a sum of N5M he sent to him for safekeeping while he was still in South Africa.
The deceased returned last week to reclaim his money before he was told that Santo had converted it to personal use, after so many trials of recovering his money from Santo, Niyi was said to have reported the issue to a police division in the area.
Niyi however with his friends visited the hotel where he heard Santo had lodged but the receptionist insisted Santo was not around.
The next morning, Niyi and his friends visited the hotel to verify if he verify if he was there as he has informed the Special Anti-Robbery Squad and the responded saying they were on their way and he should ensure Santo did not leave the premises.
According to reports, Santo from his hiding place asked a hotel worker to check if Niyi and his friends were still but they beat the worker.
A policeman securing the hotel came and never asked any question instead he started shooting at Niyi and his friends.
He chased them and shot Niyi in his leg, struggling to stand, the policeman shot him again from close range and died instantly on the spot.
According to reports, the policeman knows Niyi very well but acted that way because of the N5Million. The policeman is however in custody and would be arraign before the law court soonest. So sad really!!!!
