A resident, identified as Mr Amos Ayo recounted the tragic confrontation saying that the men were Department of State Service (DSS) officials.
Ayo said:
“I saw them. They are men of the DSS. They came to the scene to buy fuel but refused to join the queue.
“That is what they always do. It was not Toheeb’s turn yet, but he confronted them, asking them to join the queue or be polite about the way they went about the purchase.”
However, the DSS spokesman denied the involvement of any DSS officers in the incident and urged further investigation to ascertain the truth.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer also confirmed the incident and stated that investigations are ongoing to identify the perpetrators.
