25-year old DJ, Olamide George was on Monday 22, 2013 shot dead in cold bold by unknown assailants.

The incident reportedly happened in the victim’s neighbourhood on Bank Olemoh Street, Surulere, Lagos at around 2:00pm while he was sitting with some friends under a tree, popularly known as ‘Abe Igi’.

Earlier reports have it that the assassins, numbering four, who rode in a Keke Maruwa (tricycle) approached the group and shot Olamide in the head and in the chest after identifying him from the group.

Speaking to NET in a telephone conversation, Lagos Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Ngozi Braide says the Police is currently on the case. ‘We have made a few arrests and we are still trying to investigate who the killers are as well as finding out the motives for the attack, when we are done with our investigations, we will let the public know’.

The body of the dead DJ has since been taken to the morgue at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital.
