Hell was let loose on Sunday October 11, when Kofoworola Azeez, a student of Business Education department from Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ago Iwoye, was shot by one of the aides of the popular Fuji musician, Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde Anifowose, popularly known as KWAM 1 during his musical show in Ago Iwoye.

The incident occurred at the popular Limelite Hotel in Ago Iwoye in Ijebu North local government area of the state, owned by a socialite, Sesan Rufai.

The incident, our correspondent gathered led to serious commotion, which resulted in abrupt ending of the event.

An eyewitness account told our correspondent that the lady was hit by a bullet, allegedly shot around 1:00am by one of the ‘boys’ of the KWAM 1.

The source further informed that the lady was inside an unregistered Honda Accord car that belonged to an officer of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence,NSCDC, identified as Hassan Afeez,which was parked around the party venue.

Our correspondent reliably gathered that the party was organised to mark the Ago-Iwoye day celebration,earlier scheduled for Saturday but has to be postponed because of the Convocation ceremony held at the University in the town.

Investigation revealed that the lady has been taken to the General Hospital, Ijebu-Ode and she is currently responding to treatment.

The bullet was said to have entered through the side of the rear door of the car and hit the victim at her right lower buttock side.

Confirming the incident, the State Police spokesman,Deputy Superitendent of Police,DSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi disclosed that the Command has been fully briefed about the incident and they are the one that even took the lady to the hospital.

Adejobi further disclosed that the State Commissioner of Police, CP Abdulmajid Ali has directed that the popular musician, King Wasiu Ayinde Anifowose be invited for interrogation on the matter.

He said: “We got the report of the incident and we have taken the victim to the hospital. The bullet has been removed from the victim’s body.

“Before the policemen got to the scene, the musician and his team have left the place. The commissioner of police has instructed that KWAM1 should be invited and he has been invited to tell the police how it all happened and who among his band members pulled the trigger.

“We are expecting him to come and give us the account of everything that happened so as to assist us in our investigation. He is expected to come with his boy that fired the gun,” the PPRO said.

The matter is under investigation.
