According to media reports, this was coming barely seven days after some yet-to-be-identified gunmen also killed three persons in Gowon Estate.  

Recall that on Thursday, April 6, the Lagos State Police Command confirmed that three persons were killed by unknown gunmen in Gowon Estate in the Egbeda-Akowonjo LCDA of Alimosho LGA.
