Young doctor shot dead in broad daylight in Lagos

This is truly sad! Hope the police get to the bottom of this. May his soul rest in peace...Amen. Meanwhile, it might have been robbery as another eyewitness recounts what happened. See it after the cut...

and yet we compare ourselves to Ghana. We sit here and kill ourselves like chickens everyday whilst Gh is making all the positive impact. Go to New York Times online and check their list of 46 most desirable cities to visit in 2013. Only four African cities made it. Only from West Africa. Yea, Accra,Ghana was the 4th yes 4th most desirable city in the whole wide world. And we sit here and brag. This week in the international media, 77% of Nigerian women were reported as bleaching and Nigeria is among the 10 most saddest places to live. And now this. Count as in when it comes to the negatives, only the negatives. smdh!

@TONIX, let them abuse you. You don't need to change your mind set or shut up. You have the Third Eye and they are ignorant.

It is all revenge from hurting some people in the past, but it is sad that the kids are the ones paying the price of untimely death. The family needs to pray and go underground. A word is enough for the wise.

What has Fashola got to do with this?

Details of how many bullets in the gun or the number of hair on the killer's chest? What other details do you want? May the soul of the deceased rest in peace...

Saddest news so far. Grew up with them in military hospital .last saw Irawo in 2006 when I was in naija after imole died. He told me what happened n before I left he asked me what I had brought back from the uk for him and I said too late my stuffs have been raided by family n friends on the same day I came . He then said give me yours trainers "bearing in mind am 6ft2 and a size 11 whilst Irawo is 5ft5 and probably a size 5"I laughed and the put my foot next to his and said this would never size you. He then said give me ur belt. Again I said this is my only belt and if I give it to you , you would sell it cos it's not your size. He laughed and said I wouldn't sell it but I wld keep it so that you would always be in my memory . That was the last time I spoke to him or saw him. Really gutted should av given it to him.

I was robbed twice and these guys were on Okada ( bike). Third mainland bridge and Adekunle. I was shaking, pointed a gun at my head. Everyone in the traffic looked the other way, they broke my glass when I refused to roll down. I was so happy when I heard okada's were banned. Why do we still have them on our roads, I get so scared in traffic. God rest his soul. Sad. Sad. Sad.

May his soul rest in perfect peace.

The only thing that can save Nigeria from this terrible trend is a move towards a compulsory DNA database.

He was a very good man. very easy going and down to earth. He's gone soo soon.
Too many people are suffering in this country, something needs to be done before Nigeria goes down. the streets are hungry and now we can see they ll do anything to get a piece of d cake. Blame d greedy bastards in the government for this death.
Another soldier lost. RIP brotherly!!!!

I just cannot believe this. This is a family I used as a point of contact a few years back. The dad is a doctor, I think momsie is as well and then all 3 siblings studied medicine and became doctors. Why did they take this young man in his prime. Why are nigerians such wicked heartless beings? there is nothing good coming out of that place anymore. Absolutely nothing. No one from that hell hole can impress me ever again.A ll they know is entertainment, fashion, runs, stealing, killing and destroying each other.

Maybe govt should look more into having armies paroling areas wiv so much traffic.... Dis incident happened to me twice in mile 2 traffic dis past December but the only tin is the 3 guys weren't wiv guns n my window was up n doors locked....

I cant sleep... I cant get his pix off my head.. I cant get the last time we saw and ate from the same plate of my head... Linda, its exactly a month we became friends during the just concluded Lagos sport festival (Medical team). he gave me a flower and called me beautiful. we joked around being the second time we spoke. first time he harassed me cos I was carrying two plates of food. and then this.. I called him IRAWO OLORUN. He had dreams spoke with such optimism. A funny, selfless and adorable chap. I wish this didn't happen but dear rest in the bossom of the Lord. we love you. Jesus loves you more. The Lord console your household IJN. *sob*
the lord will judge the perpetrators.... They will pay the price of this life that was cut short abruptly....IJN AMEN

I wish i could express how i feel towards this,one minute you see someone and the next minute you heard his dead,what a mysterious life we find ourselves,if Irawo was told he was going to be shut dead by someone idiot,am sure he would rather stay back.Rest in peace My friend,as for you the killer you will NEVER FIND PEACE.We will get you someday,somehow.

RIP young doctor. Its all God who keeps us everyday in this Lagos. Have been attacked on road CMS early in the morning while driving alone to work. I refused to give the guy my phones like he demanded and he was threatening to shoot me if I dont give him. When I kept saying I had no phones on me he just walked away as if nothing is happening. It was God who saved me that day. When the traffic robbery is going on, you are on your own, the next driver doesnt even know what you are going through. Please always wind up your glass while on traffic and avoid pinging too.

Now can you see why we need a TOTAL ban on okadas.In horrible crimes by petty, useless robbers such as this, its the main getaway method. SMH. This poor boy's life wasted all because an idiot wanted to take his phone (which will probably be sold for like 5k and some petty change). May his soul rest in peace and may God give his family the grace to bear this great loss.

Aw, this was an extremely nice post. Taking the time and actual effort to produce a superb article…
but what can I say… I hesitate a lot and never seem to get nearly anything done.

As with anything owned by the rich and popular individuals.
Slumdog Millionaire film star Freida Pinto set a colourful trend when she blue
into the louis vuitton handbags store of the Somerset Collection in Troy,
Michigan. By making use of louis vuitton handbags marks in an
ad campaign for louis vuitton handbags is, in my humble opinion,
pretty tacky and in our Celebrity News Examiner's opinion, pretty airbrushed.
