Speaking on the matter, a resident in the area, Tunde Adeniyi,
told Punch reporter that Christmas, who used to belong to the Olokodana gang, had abandoned the gang and was planning to leave the neighbourhood on Wednesday before he was killed.
He said, “I saw him packing his luggage on Tuesday. He said he was no longer interested in the clashes, adding that most of the top men in his (Olokodana) group were dead.

“He even said the motive of the rivalry was baseless, so he would rather quit and leave the community. I was surprised when I saw his head this morning. His body was later found in Surulere by the police.”

The spokesperson of the command, DSP Kenneth Nwosu, informed that the lifeless head was said to have been dropped by unknown persons very early on Wednesday.

Nwosu added that the head has since been deposited in the morgue at Yaba General Hospital, Lagos.
“Efforts are being made to apprehend the perpetrators of the act. “’The murder case has been transfered to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti for further investigation.
“We urge the members of the public not to hesitate to give the police any useful information they have on the incident,” the spokesperson said.
