Gunmen Shoot Butcher Dead Inside Lagos Barracks Market
Tragedy struck on Sunday at the Mammy Market located inside a Lagos military barracks when unidentified gunmen opened fire, killing a popular butcher on the spot. Eyewitnesses said the attackers stormed the market in a commercial tricycle and shot the victim several times before fleeing the scene, causing panic among traders and shoppers.
Security operatives quickly cordoned off the area, while military police launched an investigation into how armed men gained access to the restricted barracks environment. The identity of the deceased butcher has not yet been officially released, but locals described him as a well-known meat seller and family man.
Authorities have yet to confirm whether the killing was cult-related, business rivalry, or a targeted assassination. The Lagos State Police Command and the military are collaborating to track down the culprits and ensure justice.
Residents have called for tighter security within and around military formations to prevent future occurrences.
