Gunmen in military uniform have killed a businessman Oso Femi at Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State.
Femi was reportedly killed at his Osofem Oil and Gas station located at Nitel bus stop in Ifo, Ogun State around 10pm on Sunday.
A nephew of the man, who identified himself as Harbee, said men who wore military camouflage invaded the filling station and held people in terror before shooting Femi in the head and escaped with his car marked EKY903GZ.
Harbee, who made this known to newsmen, said the deceased’s Toyota Corolla was later found at Obada Oko area of Abeokuta on Wednesday.
“They were all in soldier uniform. It happened at Osofem Oil and Gas, Nitel Bus-stop at Ifo, Ogun State, around 10pm on Sunday. He was about going home when they came to attack him.
“He tried to escape and they shot him on the head, took his car and his money and went away.
“We found the car at Obada Oko. The car was packed in the bush. It’s currently at the police station,” the nephew said.
The Ogun State Police Command which confirmed the incident, said it was a case of armed robbery.
