The Lagos State Police Command has commenced an investigation into the fatal shooting of a man, Adedipe Adeyinkan, popularly known as Agali, in the Surulere area of the state.
It was gathered that the incident occurred late Saturday night on the National Stadium Bridge inward Iponri.
The victim was reportedly rushed to a hospital in Yaba following the attack, but was confirmed dead on arrival.
Confirming the development in a statement shared on its official X handle on Sunday, the command said it had launched a probe to determine the circumstances surrounding the killing.
“The Command is aware of the shooting incident involving Adedipe Adeyinkan, popularly known as ‘Agali,’ which occurred on April 11, 2026, at about 11:30 p.m. on National Stadium Bridge inward Iponri.
“The victim was rushed to Mainland General Hospital, Yaba, where he was confirmed dead. Investigation is ongoing,” the statement read.
The incident has since generated reactions on social media, with videos and reports from the scene circulating online.
One of the clips showed a damaged white vehicle at the location, with a crowd gathered around it shortly after the shooting.
Some online sources alleged that the deceased was linked to a cult group operating in the area, though the police have yet to confirm such claims.
