A professional hairstylist identified simply as Sebastine Timothy has been shot dead by suspected armed robbers in the Satellite Town area of Lagos State.
A police source, who pleaded anonymity because he was not authorised to speak publicly, said the deceased was attacked shortly after returning home from work.
It was gathered that the incident occurred on Sunday night along Olasanoye Street in the community.
According to the source, the robbers broke into Timothy’s apartment, dispossessed him of his belongings, and transferred an undisclosed amount of money from his bank account before shooting him in the head.
The source added that the assailants fled the scene immediately after the attack, while neighbours who heard gunshots later found Timothy’s lifeless body.
In a separate account, an online channel known for exposing cult-related activities, Confra Naija, claimed in a post on X that the attack was cult-related.
According to the platform, the assailants, believed to be members of the Eiye confraternity, had originally targeted Timothy’s brother, who is allegedly affiliated with a rival group, Aye, but turned on the hairstylist when they could not find him.
