The police in Lagos State are having a difficult time arresting the killers of hip-hop musician, Olaniyan Ibraheem Damilola, popularly known as Damooshe.
Saturday Tribune investigations revealed that the police, as of Friday afternoon, had not found a witness to aid its investigations.
Family members of the deceased musician on Friday morning stormed the Ojoo police station to claim the corpse of Damooshe, so as to bury him according to Islamic rites.
The police had directed Damooshe’s family to go and get an affidavit before the corpse could be released to them.
The image maker in-charge of the state police command, Ngozi Braide, while speaking with Saturday Tribune, confirmed the difficulty of the police in getting eyewitness account of the murder.
Braide added that not even the school security men, who were on duty at the gate where the musician was killed, were ready to give information.
She, however, stated that the chief security officer of the school had promised to send the school’s account of the incident to the police.
Meanwhile, Saturday Tribune gathered that the death of Damooshe might not be unconnected with the rivalry between the Eiye and Aiye confraternities at the Lagos State University.
Indications also emerged that Damooshe’s assailant must have trailed him for hours before he was eventually shot and killed by a gang of two men who reportedly operated on a motor bike.
There are, however, uncertainties on whether the late Damooshe received any call before heading out of campus, before he was killed.
An unidentified friend of Damooshe, commenting on a media site, stated that he and the slain musician had gone to the school playing ground to watch a football match.
He added that Damooshe left the playing ground before the game ended, thus raising suspicion that his killers were monitoring him.
