Gunmen shot and killed Abejide Ojo, a commercial motorcyclist, on the Ilemeso-Isan-Ekiti road in Ekiti State on Thursday.
According to a witness who spoke to the media, the deceased was approached by the thugs as he was travelling from Ilemeso, Ekiti, to Isan, Ekiti.
He said: “The motorcyclist was on his way back to Isan-Ekiti when he met some gunmen who asked him to carry them to a forest.
“He declined their request and this led to a fight with the criminals. He later escaped from the scene but was chased and shot severally by the hoodlums.”
The spokesman for the state police command, Sunday Abutu, however, promised to brief journalists as soon as he gets comprehensive details on the incident.
