Godwin Agbroko
Shooting
Agbroko was found dead at the wheel of his car on the road to the Daleko bridge in the Lagos district of Isolo at around 10 p.m. (local time) on 22 December, shortly after he left his office in the district of Apapa.
He had been shot in the throat. The window of the driver's door, which was locked shut, was shattered. His safety-belt was still fastened. The air-conditioning and radio were still on. None of his belongings had been taken.
Three policemen and two passers-by were shot dead in the same area that night. Although the police think he was shot in the course of an attempted hold-up, his son, Tobor Agbroko, said the Nigerian press and his family suspected a targeted murder.
