A resident, Alani Azeez, lamented that though the sound of the gunshots was very audible, no resident was bold enough to come out of the house to rescue the deceased. He said that the Mukaila was shot in front of his daughter who was crying profusely for help.
The State Coordinator of the NYSC, Mr. Ayodele Adegoke, said the secretariat had contacted the family of the deceased and reported to the Police. Adegoke who described the attack as unfortunate said the NYSC shares the grief of the bereaved family.
