I told you all about a drive-by shooting that occurred a few weeks back in Lagos. Well, here's the full story. The guy above is Shola Farinloye, Luxe Night Club (Former New Grotto on Etim Inyang, VI) manager. Shola was shot in a drive-by shooting that occurred in front the club he manages on Sunday the 5th of June.

Shola told reporters exactly what happened on the night he was shot.

"On the 5th of June, I was at Luxe Night Club and at about 4am, when we were almost rounding up, one of my cleaners came to call me that there was a fight between a guy and two ladies. I went to where the quarrel was happening and asked the guy what the problem, he refused to talk to me and was bent on physically assaulting the ladies. When the guy proved too difficult to control, I asked my bouncers to escort him out of the club.

When the guy got outside, he continued screaming and said he will deal with us. He took out his phone and started making calls. The bouncers tried to calm him down but he was having none of it. My two bosses had left the club at the time so I called them on the phone to intimate them on what was going on. 

Eventually the guy causing all the commotion left and a few minutes later, a car drove by and started shooting at the club building. I told all the staff who were outside to go into the club, and in trying to get everybody in, I was the last man outside the club and before I could go in, I was hit by a bullet and I went down. I was taken to the hospital and the doctors treating me say it was a pump-action gun that was used in the attack. The pellets spread to damage my left leg too after damaging my right leg. I can't identify any of those in car or the kind of car they were driving, it was dark"
