“A letter of medical referral was issued by the police for medical attention on the victim,” a source said.
Oyeshina was immediately referred to LUTH from Randle Hospital, Surulere.
Mr Kayode Opeifa, Vice-Chairman of the Federal Government Task Team on the Restoration of Order at Apapa, said he was with the victim at the Emergency Section of LUTH before he passed on.
