Armed robbers invaded a Chicken Republic branch in the Lekki area of Lagos on Sunday and shot one of its employees.
The restaurant’s management in a series of tweets described the incident as an “attempted robbery.”
“Earlier today, a member of our team was shot at our Admiralty Lekki 1 branch, in an attempted robbery. He is currently receiving medical care and we ask that you join us in praying for his recovery,” said the management saying.
“We are deeply saddened by this despicable act of violence and are already working with the @PoliceNG to ensure that perpetrators are brought to justice. Our efforts remain consistent to ensure our outlets are secure across the country.”
State police spokesman Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed the incident to PREMIUM TIMES on Monday.
He noted that there are “no updates yet” on the matter.
