The News:

By Oluwole Adeboye

Unidentified gunmen have killed an expatriate and his personal driver in Ikoyi area of Lagos. The victim, Aria Hugo, an Argentine, was a staff of Iberia Airline and until his tragic death lived at 31, Hughes Avenue, Ikoyi, Lagos. His Nigerian driver, Ifeanyi Gabriel, suffered the same fate.

P.M.News learnt this morning that Hugo was in the back seat of his jeep on Anthony Bridge, along the Oshodi-Gbagada expressway when five armed men, in a desperate move to snatch the jeep, shot both Ifeanyi and his boss at close range.

However, when they saw a police patrol vehicle, they fled the scene in a Land Cruiser jeep that they had snatched from another motorist.

They abandoned the Toyota Camry saloon car they had driven in to the scene of the dastardly act.

As at the time of filing this report, the corpse of Hugo has been deposited at the Ikoyi Military Hospital, while that of Gabriel was taken to the morgue of the General Hospital, Marina, Lagos.
