The armed robbery attack on Lagos commissioner, Segun Oniru

Lagos State commissioner for Waterfront Infrastructure Development, and one of the sons of Oba Idowu Oniru, the Oniru of Iruland, Prince Segun Oniru, was attacked by armed men on Friday December 21st near Four Points By Sheraton Hotel in Oniru.

The prince, his police orderly and driver were coming from an event on that Friday evening when another SUV hit his SUV violently from the back as they approached a bump. As they got out of their car to inspect the extent of damage, the men in the other SUV came down and fired shots at them. Prince Segun Oniru's orderly was killed at the scene, his driver ran off and Prince Oniru in panic got back into his car. The robbers entered his car and drove him around the area after robbing him of his phones, credit cards, and all his money.

Prince Oniru escaped the robbers by jumping out of his car as the robbers approached a bump near where he was attacked.

The prince was treated for bullet wounds but luckily no bullet penetrated his body.
Please when a car hits you from behind at night, do not come out to inspect...they are probably armed robbers

Linda, great piece of advice you gave there "Please when a car hits you from behind at night, do not come out to inspect...they are probably armed robbers".

Thank you!

Mad strategy

Jazz things........ He was shoot but the bullet did not penetrate his body

Wow!! Sounds like a scene from an action packed Hollywood movie.. They should have just robbed and leave instead of killing someone. They would surely be apprehended and brought to book for they have blood on their hands..

This tactics by hoodlums has been on for sometime now,they started with bike (okada) ,hit your car from behind and wait until you get down then they pounce on you,the ban of okada on major highways reduced it and now they are using cars,citizens should be careful.They usually do this things at night...God will continue to keep us

As sad as dis sounds, it goes to show tht escorts re nt always a guarantee for safety..! Linda obviously ur a better gossip than writter! Don't one need to be shot before they cn be treated for bullet wounds? I mean frm wht uve written, he shud be treated for shock!! #Justsaying#

This happened to me late last year. Got out to inspect and got bundled back into my car with a gun pressed to my side.

To cut the long story short, was robbed of all accessories and my car. Luckily though, tracked the car some days later and recovered it.

When driving in Lagos especially at night and on the island, if you are bashed, drive faster!!!

You can rest assured those guys WILL be caught...forget say na naija police, the issue is that a political elite was the one robbed and shot. They will find those guys...you just watch!

Kudos to his 'strongman'. He did his otumakpo well. But i just pity the one that lost his life in the name of oga follower. As big as that Four Points is, they do not have security men lurking around there? Or as big as that Oniru estate is they too cannot pay to secure their area? This country sef

Obviously it was not a random robbery as it seems they were tailing him from his gbedu till they got to his home zone. Treated for bullet wounds but no penetration. Hmmm, the bullets seemed to have been bouncing off his body like rain...lucky him and sorry for the one that lost his life on duty.

Oga the article never spoke of assassins & next time check the spelling of your (assasins).

BTW: The Oniru family should know that the extortion and criminal acts going on at Oniru beach is their making, very soon that place would be worse than kuramo...

2ndly, am happy these robbers have learnt to leave the poor and middle class alone, they now attack banks and the wealthy. But let him that rob know that someday soon nemesis will catch up with him/her.

Thanks to fashola for also making Gidi less crime prone.

Robbery attacks has increased in the past few months. In abuja, they hide somewhere and throw a heavy rock at your car, and if you are unlucky, it'll shatter your screen,or better still, hit you, and if u try to park and check, its doomsday for you. It happened to my friend, but he didn't stop, though his side mirror was shattered, and at the next stop he saw some police men and reported the incident. Guess what the idiots said "ah, na true o, na so dem dey do, especially for that angle"! Imagine! be careful people....TC

It's not always jazz...maybe it was a flesh wound, or a bullet grazing...Everyting na jazz in Nigeria.

There's usually logic behind 99percent of things.

Maybe the gent sef don go do some deals wey no go down well, with different people. And you know how hard-ass our Naija folks can be about being done a 'wrong' turn.

Anon 5:02pm, wateva!Thanx 4 dat correction. U'd do urself gud by going back 2 ur punctuation notes "...Shd cut down On his partying saw him rolling..." A simple fullstop, comma, even semi colon wud've proved u to b an english guru (as u claim to be). "is he a kid or wat" I think a question mark wud've added meaning 2 dat too. PROPER PUNCTUATION PLS.. Btw, 'mehico'????!!! *shaking ma whole body 4 u*.. Remove dat log of wood from ur eye 1st

Before you correct someone make sure you are 100%. For your info your correction is also wrong, now go and find out the proper thing and come back.
Who talked rubbish about ATM being a widow? Deceive yourself. His wife and kids are the most important. If she was that hot he would have married her by now. Over Olori's dead body so ATM should keep trying.

Trust naija police to open their mouth and talk shit. I was also a victim of robbery. i will never forget , what a police man told me when I reported a robbery incident just few yards from where they were patrolling. They are pathetic .
Thank God for your friend's life.
