“I was just lucky to be alive today, they would have killed me too” Antonia said.

“Not up to one hour after we got there, some boys came with motorcycles, almost all of them were armed.”

“We were very surprised that some of those who were at the party with us before were even members of their gang. Before we knew what was happening, they started attacking us.”

He also stated that, “It was still not clear to me what was happening because I know all of them. They are all working for Ganiu Lateef, popularly known as Eleda and we don’t have any issue with them.”

“Kazeem Okaka and Sola Alagbaja, a.k.a SS, Idris Mashanwo a.k.a Aloma  dragged us and I struggled with them and escaped. I ran into the bush and was watching them attacking Rashidi.”

“One of them, Okaka, was very annoyed . He shouted at them for allowing me to go. They brought out their guns and shot Rashidi on the leg and later on the hand. He fell on the floor but he was not dead then.”

“With the injuries to his leg and hand, Wasiu Olaribigbe a.k.a Epo, Sodiq  Onakoya a.k.a Owo Epo, Nuru Onakoya, Ajenise Onakoya, Baba Asisa, Adisa Gbadebo a.k.a Aspen, Wasiu Ogini, Dada Doyin, Raji Kazeem, Seun Onifade, Aderogba Adegangan, Morufu Ojoge, Rafiu Oyelade a.k.a Elekun Mefa, Kazeem Onakoya, Akeem Akinola a.k.a Actor, Saka Gbegira, Akeem Kamson Sakiru Onimama a.k.a  Shakur Dele a.k.a Obontey, Toyin Imisioluwa a.k.a  Lemon and Wasiu Onisawa continued to beat him.”

“Later some of them spoke to each other and pushed him on a motorcycle and took him away from the place. All of them ran away from the fidau prayer.”
