A

Metro learnt that Sowemimo, 25,
was killed while going to church in the morning. It was also learnt

A friend of the deceased, Tosin Adeboye, told our correspondent that the gunmen came on a commercial motorcycle.
She said, “On Sunday morning, Damilola
(Sowemimo) was going to church. Her friends had parked on the other side
of the road and she was attempting to cross when two men on a
motorcycle appeared from nowhere.

valuables in her bag, they got angry and shot her in the neck before
speeding off.”
It was gathered that the deceased was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital but later gave up the ghost as she bled profusely.
Sowemimo attended Federal Government

The Police Public Relations Officer for
