Lawal was allegedly killed by some persons in military uniform on August 17, 2023,while on his way to deliver a vehicle to its owner in Abuja.
The men allegedly told Lawal that they were taking him to their barracks, but moved him to Iyana Ipaja, around the exit of Lagos, where they shot him to death and threw his body into a bush.
Unknown to the criminals in uniform, Lawal’s friend, who was driving ahead of him, witnessed the incident and promptly reported to the police.
Reacting to the incident, the spokesman for the 81 Division, Lieutenant-Colonel Olabisi Ayeni said the army has commenced investigation into the murder.
Colonel Ayeni also reassured that the Nigerian Army has zero tolerance for troops’ misconduct or involvement of its personnel in any form of criminality, hence, will not allow the allegation go unravelled.
