Four men named Michael Fashola, Mufutau Tokosi, Abidemi Kolawole Adeleye (a.k.a. Baido), were arraigned this morning in connection with the assassination of 42-year-old businessman and a rising Lagos Politician, Emmanuel Ubah, years old, who was gunned down point blank in Amuwo Odofin, Lagos State on 21st July, 2017.

According to the The Due Process Advocates (DPA), the suspects were arraigned for murder, conspiracy to commit murder and belonging to an illegal society. The arraignment was before Honourable Justice Akinkugbe of the Lagos State High Court, Igbosere, Lagos.

The gunshot wounds above his left ear left Emmanuel in a pool of his own blood, dead right there on the driver’s seat of his own car.

It was gathered that eyewitnesses and police work pointed to a gang of friends of Emmanuel who felt jealous of his success. The weapons used have been recovered and the men allegedly confessed.

According to DPA, the police and the state are taking the case seriously and have shown high rate of success in the investigation of the case. The next hearing date is May 30, followed by 3 days in June, 2018.
