He was working as a Product Designer at a Financial Technology firm, Crevatal, before his demise, according to hisThe deceased, who was the son of Dr. Yewande Ntekim-Rex, a senior lecturer at the English Department at the University of Lagos, was said to have been gunned down around 8 pm on Friday.
A relative of the deceased, who tweeted with the handle, @Magnanimous_, said the police failed to help Ntekim-Rex when he was shot.He tweeted, “My ‘auntie’ has three sons. She’s always crazy about them. The middle child, David, is the most promising. He is a tech guy; very young, very brilliant. David was on his way home on Friday night when he was robbed, shot and killed around Jibowu. Please say a prayer for my aunt.“David got shot around 8 pm. The police were called, David hadn’t died yet.
“David was taken to the military hospital around the area. It took a senior nurse to come out and start checking for a pulse. He had lost a lot of blood at this point. “The police then took David and his family to Sabo , where they looked for the laptop that he had on him instead of giving them a police report. He was finally released to his family, and they got to LUTH around 12.30 am.
MBuhari another life lost due to that useless police report ...PoliceNG instead of helping us you do the opposite😪,you are nothing but a failed body of the government who never accepts faults and never right their wrongs 😒
MTN JUJU CATCH IF U CALL SOMEONE THESE DAYS U NO GO KNOW SAY UR AIRTIME DON DEY BURN AND YOU ARE YET TO HEAR A VOICE AND YOU WON'T HAVE A CHOICE BUT TO CALL BACK AGAIN. THIS IS ANOTHER MEANS TO ROB US HOLISTICALLY TundeEddnut channelstv SaharaReporters
All is well
FakhuusHashim May His Soul Rip, Nigeria keeps failing Keeps on taking away young ones , People with Great Dreams and Plans 💔 May Nigeria not be the End of us💔 that's the new prayer now ! Also more investigation and sanctions need to be done they shouldn't just sweep it under like usual😫
JajaPhD Cue: Nigerians complaining...Story dies In a few days...they move on...few days...something similar happens. *repeat*
JajaPhD God please save Us😭🙏🏾
Another solution gone...
So much innocent blood on the land. I don't think Chinese people kill themselves like this. In Nigeria, even that your neighbour smiling at you don't mind killing u to av that your beautiful car, phone, house, even wife or ur husband. Who's to blame 4 our diabolical tendencies?
A generation is gone! May his soul rest in peace No be today our govt don dey fail us How many types of David have died and investigations were thrown into the gabbage at the end. What can we do other than to watch these wicked acts hold in the so called giant of Africa
TundeTASH Where are the 'egbon' and 'aburo' defender of Nigeria?
Those were not rubbers but assassins. One Nigeria is a death trap for peace loving and promising people not just youths.
Nigerians and Jealousy are like 5 and 6. They can't stand progress and many of them don't understand the foundational problem this is, but it's there. Leave if you can. The world needs you.
Oh no😑. God rest your soul and comfort your family, Champ!😪
just_iyz This is very unfortunate. I weep!
O my goodness! Rest in perfect peace 😭😭😭
Nigeria is a dream killer. End it NOW!
Mehn this dude looks really familiar. RIP david
JajaPhD Cursed society
Robbers shot him. However, police & hospitals were complicit in his very avoidable death! Another promising life just wasted...what is a Nigerian life worth? RIPdavid
TundeTASH Hmm...adiguntemitayoj naija has failed us all
RIP bro😥😥
I cannot even comment, I’m too sad to comment. 💔💔💔💔
💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Living in Nigeria should be number 1 on 1000 ways to die . We keep loosing our talents to foreigners or the cold hands of incompetence & bad governance
Another 'Paystack' truncated and you wonder why Nigeria can't flourish?
Life is weird, I mean I cried when I watched the execution of some robbers on YouTube. Criminals should be killed with the most painful deaths possible. This is heartbreaking
BaajAdebule This is too sad, later someone will say leaving this country to Canada isn’t a win, rie nsi dia. Rest In Peace David, Nigeria failed you
People here crying and saying how Nigeria has failed are the same people that hated MaziNnamdiKanu for demanding for BiafraExit and EndNigeriaNow. What an Irony!
I secure visa with work permit to these countries , Poland , Ireland , Netherlands , Lithuania but presently Poland is the only country's embassy available due to covid19 . Contact me if you are interested
If we all don't join MaziNnamdiKanu and call for the end of Nigeria, there might be a next. EndNigeriaNow
This is really sad. Another bright future blurred. WASTED!!
RapidMax01
So sad Nigeria is failing its young people
💔
God, why is all these happening?
Nigeria has failed this genus and rare gift to the World..what kind of a nation are we that devours,consume,destroy are own children and inhabitants. ...
😱😱😱😱😰
Such a product does not have protection! Nigeria is dead. In a civilized nation he should be residing in a comfortable zone and be driving his dream car but here we've a nation mediocre irresponsible elements are celebrated and protected while d relevant ones are downgraded. Sad
Nigeria keeps losing more bright minds as always.. A terrible terrible place in the map isn't fit to be called a country.
Ooops💔
IszybeeTheFirst This is so unfair 💔
May God keep protecting us in this country , especially we the youth . May Nigeria not end us . God pls 🙏 I’m so heart broken 💔to think that it could be anyone 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
_UcheOby
I can now understand why Hakeem Olajuwon said he doesn't come back to Nigeria often because of insecurity. Insecurity isn't limited to terrorism and kidnapping by the way. Once you are famous, you are a target and it is so sad. May his soul rest in peace.
I don't get it. Police said David was dead before they arrived the scene. How come the first hospital refused to treat him if he was brought in dead (dem dey treat dead body),that he had to be taken to another hospital? Lets fear God o!
asemota Why are there so many heartless people in Nigeria? There are armed robbers in Canada, Germany, Egypt, UK and other countries but their armed robbers don't just kill people anyhow.. .Even our armed robbers are super wicked!
What is this world turning to just look at a young guy they just kill and deprive him from living this is so unfair. RIP
The system has failed us, the question has always been who is next and when it will be. We are loosing our tomorrow to insecurity from armed robbers, bandit, Boko Haram and even police and soldiers. Under equip hospital is also a reason why we loose our tomorrow. RIP bro! 😭😭😭
RIP
What a very sad tale.
Not robbers alone, he stood a chance of surviving the attack by 'Nigeria' did not let him.
Lagosstate money dey nau, police lagosians better.
Is better to japa ooo .... rest in peace bro
They kill future here and feed the killers. Nigeria!!!!!!!!!!! I weep for you
Rest in peace man
I read the military hospital rejected him LUTH finally accepted him kaiiii😥😥 police claim they came and met him dead family says he was still alive. This things will not stop in Nigeria
What do doctors and nurses stand to loose if they TRY to stabilize the lives of victims of a robbery situation?
The hospital and the police are also culpable in his death. An offence entails act or the omission to do an act.
And you have clowns with locust beans for brains shouting about patriotism, how can you be patriotic to a country that literally hunts down her brightest starlings. SMH
JajaPhD And if another protest should start now they will ‘Lai’ that it is politically influenced. RIP, Great One.
😭😭😭 if he would have known he would have leave this country in peace.
In 2babaofficial voice 'all man to himself'. In Nigeria, we all dey for 'OYO' state.
Clan_Clueless The foolish youths, who blindly supported endsars . We now ave robbers, insurgents killers roaming our streets! Foolish generation , we got what we asked for tho. Rip
This country kills so many dreams
The parents are my childhood friends,may his soul rest in peace.
Lord! This country robs you and then finishes you off. Like there's no fair chance at actually living here. Haaa!!
Our Policemen Failed You Our Hospitals Failed You Our Government Failed You More Rest In Perfect Peace David..
Rip champ
JajaPhD Nigeria system kills destinies and life fast!
💔💔
hermzhick This is really really sad
Very sad May his soul rest in peace.
Nigeria failed you Ntekim 😓
If this story pushes another person to relocate abroad and post his/her bye bye from Nigeria, those useless BMC Social media Hoodlums will see it and start breaking their heads with bottle in anger. Very sad
MrOdanz This is painful to see! Rest in Power, David 🙏🏾
abikedabiri “So proudly Nigerian”
So how did the Police confirm he was dead while the family were insisting . They had a doctor at the Station to confirm such?
I am just so pained that such a bright fellow was wasted due to the incompetence of the police force... I watch documentaries on crimes and the first thing police should have done was to check if he was alive.... our police men aren’t professional... they were probably expecting
Nigeria....
TundeTASH Yet they tag us LAZY youth! Those who escaped to other countries are fulfilling dreams while those of us trapped in this messy space are either dying like chicken or paying multiple and killing taxes from our personal hustles. What a failed nation?
Hopefully this country will not kill all of us😭😭😭🤦♂️
Jesus Christ!
Nigeria is safe and prosperous. Sai baba MBuhari 🙏
The hospital that refused treating him should be punished and pay heavily for this
Gosh, at this surviving period of his life, men of the underworld took his life. This is disheartening. May God give his family the heart to bear this great loss. Rest In Peace... Amen 🙏
May his soul Rest In Peace
It’s unsafe almost everywhere now RIP David 😥
Our future is being cut short because of negligence, incompetency, corruption and inequality. Our Apple inventors, Solution providers, and Naija Elon musk are being slaughtered for less than $10 everyday in their thousands. May his soul rest in peace. FAILED NATION! 💔
Lagos...
This is sad 😢
The only thing NPF is good at is killing Nigerians and lying... Their name should be changed from NPF to NLF - L for lying
This is really upsetting. May God grant his family the fortitude to bear the loss and may the soul of David rest in peace, amen.
Another talent wasted ! Rip
This right here is y I need to get out of the country... leave the politicians n their followers to rule themselves. So sad!!! 😣
Do we even have policemen that are equiped with basic medical or first aid skills?! Nigeria is just a crazy place! RIP to David. I'm just gutted reading this. How can our country continually fail us this much?!
TundeTASH RIP
Look at how a great talent was wasted by robbers. So sad 🤤🤤
Your environment really determines your prayer point, now we all need to add 'May Nigeria not be my end ' to an already list of prayer points. It's really sad, RIP David.
Don’t let anyone guilt trip you into remaining in this hellhole with any patriotism bullshit. Leave if you can and want to.
7-8pm robbery 10pm-12am police patrol/siren blaring 12am-4:30am Vigilante/neighborhood watch 5am-5:45am car jacking/theft/ petty crooks obtaining those early birds going to work. If none of these things reach you then you get 5G protection. Typicaldayinlagos discoveryplus
If I may suggest, hospitald should be made to treat issues like this pro bono and must be registered with the divisional police of their area of locality to report afterwards. This is so sad!
This one no be robbery o. This one is obviously a carefully calculated targeted assassination. E no go better for all those involved in any way or forms 🥺
They are dragging Rinu for saying the truth just look at the way innocent died because of a failed system may his soul rest in peace
yojora Somebody will come and say Bill Gates and others want to reduce population here. The police, the failed govt and it's failed system what's the difference btwn them and the said Bill Gates? They rather lose than groom their own in this Nigeria, tufiakwa
TheEnike This is so sad!
TundeTASH But question is who will do this investigation this same police men!!!!!!!! RIP!!!
TundeTASH It sounds like assassination to me, worked in Jobowu for years and I stayed late night, walking on that street, with my laptop almost every night..... I know those police stations, nothing good can come from those stations, the case should be investigated more to it.......
💔 😢
This is saddening
iyaboawokoya
What did armed robbers what from a child? When will hospitals start treating bullet injured people again? Really not right. endbadgovernance
OvieO What a huge lost 😢 RIP ☔️
Follow me I will follow back ASAP😋😘💃
Take heart. Nigeria is a dangerous place
Please just enter your rest.
followlasg jidesanwoolu your state is now a den of armed robbers. PoliceNG_CRU please get your $hit together and train your officers to put lives ahead of all their stupid shenanigans and bureaucratic nonsense.
This is sad 😢.
May his soul RIP.
Unless no one called the police till 11, how did it take the police to arrive at the scene a whole 3 hours. I know of 3 police stations that the police men could have trekked from in under 30mins around Jibowu area...
I don't want to share some experiences I've had at that millitary hospital or how one milliary man tries to set me up there They are premium wicked people there PoliceNG killed him because they failed to do their job NigeriaGov killed David because they wqnt us all dead
Getting out of Nigeria will forever be a win. Do not let anyone lie to you about this.
😢 😭 May his gentle soul rest in peace... 🤦♂️Naija
thefireofOla should we keep deceiving ourselves?
💔
From time to time it is the same old story! RIP of the youths of Nigeria and somehow it always has something to do with the ones who were assigned to protect us,the police! How long will we continue like this When will it end? Who’s next RIP David 😔
Please tag that aunty that says rubbish all the time, she and her cohorts. A woman lost her baby to reckless attitude of healthcare workers, David is dead, another paid police 100k so as not to miss flight. When people say their own reality, shut up and let them be.
His Fatherland failed him.
If you have a way to leave this zoo run oooo
Very sad
Life 😓😓
Jesus Christ!!!!!!
😥😥 This is so heartbreaking
Hmmmm ,it's painful reading this right now. We are going through a lot as a people in this dying world and Nigeria being a jungle. My heart is with David's family. Rest on bro!! pls let's remember our Creator while we are still alive. Time is running out.
CZZY__ 😪

So sad.. and sum part of d world na after dem don achieve dem go cut dem shot... Dem no go still enjoy the achievement.. e.g western hippop celebrity.. na dere retire age dem dey ruin all d achievement..
Truly Nigeria failed David and his family. It's 2021, exit Nigeria through front and back doors. Nigeria is calamity.

Opeyemi_09 Guns are only with the criminals in Nigeria

They killed his dream and those they were supposed to travel together For the competition. Too sad
Let the madness stop What is happening to us as a nation, why have we all degenerated into animals eating up our young, idolizing money and other vanities. Directionless, rudderless, heartless, lack of compassion and empathy.
el_obino Any time i see police, written or mentioned, Sincerely, I get more angrier. I think humanity left those people the moment they wear that black uniforms. Base on the sad event, they reacted very poorly and that has been their way.
International Ballistic missile? 😳
BoluCole Another talent wasted in this useless country called Nigeria.
Wat is ibm
Very sad
💔 Nigeria eats her young
With the type of soulless government Nigeria currently has, what will it cost them to equip every police man basic first aid skills?
If the Nigeria police did their basic duties of prioritising the safety of Nigerians, a lot of unnecessary lives could be saved and the families of victims would praise them, even if they lose their loved ones.
My condolence to his friends and family. When you ask them to pray, you hear someone comparing us with the western world. Any power waiting for me at this junction of my life, die by Fire.
Dang💔💔💔
God heal our land🙏 RIP bro. Nigeria messed you up😭😭 We failed you.
This country Nawa oooo
IamtheOGee So this is the way we will continue in this country😭 which way Nigeria? RIP David.
taiyelolu_a Chai Nigeliaaaa*
asemota Another reason to japa from 🇳🇬 if you can. The country failed David and is failing a lot of young persons. My sincere condolences to his family. May God grant them the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
This country is a big mess. Just read this news report and know this. Instead of the Police to get him medical attention they were taken pictures and asking stupid questions. What kind of country is this? The Doctors also failed him. Rest in Peace to this great talent.
It is abt time relevant 🇳🇬 authorities (followlasg here) DEFINED ROLES for PoliceNG and AmbulanceNdEMT 🚑 during emergency calls such as this. It is obvious that the PoliceNG is NOT equipped or capable of attending to accidents, many deaths are AVOIDABLE! jidesanwoolu Rip
0dinanwa u sabi this na 💔💔. God save us from Nigeria
Nigeria
What a painful exit😔 May his soul RIP 🙏🏼
Someone was shot 8pm and the police proudly stated they got to the scene at after 11pm...with two police stations very close to the vicinity of the Robbery.. Sad.. Very Sad
MagicBashol Some Nigeria hospitals keep killing souls, instead of saving souls. Nigeria health care system is in a sorry state. Nigeria security officers needs some education. David can be anybody
davidagunowei I think Nigeria killed him
asemota There have to be consequences. We can't just continue about these things happening. We can't just move on the day later as nothing happened.
💔
A start was just murdered just like that maybe this guy would av changed the life of the children of his murderers They are so myopic in their thoughts they killed him for what they will eat today not thinking of tomorrow Their place are in HELL
Dream killer country! 💔 RIP HERO
Lagos is very unsafe. One hears horror stories
This country is a serial killer.
Investigate well, there might be greed and jealousy lurking in the shadows of the crime.
This is just very wrong and Sad.
RIP bro😥😥
If only the police and the hospitals attended to him on time he could not have died.. Rip David.. Nigeria is a dream killer..
Study1Australia RIP David. May the Lord console the family you left behind. No one is safe here anymore. failedSecurity failedPolice failedHealth failedPolicy
I sympathies with the family and Nigeria at large but this look more like an assassin stuff. A further investigation will help to unravel the mystery behind his death. What a lost.
So 😭
Insecurity in this nation is just so bad.Nigeria just lose a promising star
Hope d aftermath of end sars won't consume everyone , criminals seems to b having free reigns
He had the potential to become the best thing out of this country. Rest in peace bro.
Nigeria Failed you, David!!!
I feel they did this to steal his genius, this came from someone higher up
Eternal rest 🙏
They just cut his dreams and purpose in life shot.
Lord💔
JohnKayode6 Rest In Peace 😥

How Nigeria fails its citizens, security remains a huge problem and government is doing nothing about it. Good our beloved one, find rest.
This is what Nigeria does to the young ones. It stop their progress and has also been known to knowingly end their life. No matter how much you try to be careful, Nigeria always look for a way at all cost to stop you from achieving your dreams. RIP DAVID!
Nigeria is a terrible country to live in
Someone got shot as a security operative you got to the scene where he was trying to survive instead of you to help him you started taking pictures You do realise your also a murderer Nigeria really need to revisit some of it's useless law's why don't you treat and detain inst..
