Lagos Grandmother Brutally Murdered in Iyana-Isashi; Witness Left for Dead
A 70-year-old grandmother was attacked and killed at her home in Iyana-Isashi, Lagos, as she stepped out of her bathroom. Neighbours found her body in the compound, her head hacked open and a blood-stained cutlass nearby. Her daughter, a hairstylist working in Lekki, rushed home after a nurse neighbour called to say her mother had been injured. On arrival, she learned her sister had already found their mother unresponsive and pronounced dead. A male neighbour who saw the attack was pursued into his own compound and beaten unconscious. Footprints and broken barriers suggest the assailant chased him after murdering the grandmother, possibly to eliminate a witness. The family suspects the victim’s paternal uncle and his ex-convict son. The hairstylist is calling on Lagos Police to investigate thoroughly and bring the perpetrators to justice.
