A man, Toheeb Eniasa, was shot dead during a struggle to get premium motor spirit at a branch of Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited at Obalende in the Ikoyi area of Lagos State.
The incident, which occurred late Wednesday, has left residents in the area in fear.
Pannigeriannews.com gathered that Eniasa was in the queue to get petrol when the incident happened.
While in the queue, two men, believed to be military officers, attempted to drive into the station to buy petrol even though they were not in the queue to get the product.
Eyewitnesses confirmed that Eniasa spearheaded the argument, telling the men to join the queue like everyone else.
This further degenerated into a fisticuff and the eventual death of the young man after one of the men shot him and fled the scene.
The scarcity has led to an increase in transport fares and queues at various filling stations selling the product.
A resident, who gave his name as Mr. Amos Ayo, who said he witnessed the incident, alleged that the officers were from the Department of State Services as they had their branded polo shirts.
