Yesterday there were 4 Dutch (I believe) expats having a drink outside Mega Plaza in Victoria Island. One of the guys was shot in the head by an armed man who then disappeared. I haven't heard if the man who was shot has died or not. Mega Plaza is a well known shopping centre frequented by many expatriates in Lagos. It originally started as a video club run by an Israeli at the Federal palace Hotel and still has a number of Israeli directors and managers. It has been a popular spot with many expatriates. Sadly, armed robberies are becoming much more common in Lagos and the majority go unreported. It's a shame that when there are so many people who genuinely try and make this a better place, there is a violent minority who achieve the opposite by their violent, criminal behaviour which results in the deaths of far more Nigerians than expatriates. Sadly, that is not particularly newsworthy
