Suspected hired killers shot a man identified as Akugbe Ogbidi, dead in Benin City, Edo State after he was lured out of a party.
It was gathered that the tragic incident happened on Saturday, January 14, 2023, when the victim, an indigene of Obazagbon near Benin city received a telephone call.
Ogbidi left the party and went to the person who is believed to be known to him.
According to the Standard Gazette, the deceased told his friends at the party about the telephone call before he left to meet the person.
He was expected to return to the party, but it was the last time he was seen alive, and calls to his phone were unanswered.
The situation forced his friends to be suspicious and retraced his steps. His remains were found in a bush path around Sapele Road in Benin.
