Gunmen kill bank manager, 7 others in Sapele beer parlour attack

SAPELE— IT was a bloody weekend in Sapele, Sapele Local Government Area of Delta State, as gunmen killed a bank manager and seven other persons at a drinking spot, opposite Okotie-Eboh Grammar School, in the town.

No reason was given for the mindless bloodbath, but a source said, “The killers, who claimed to be unemployed and hungry, were incensed that their victims were busy drinking and eating with their girlfriends, while they (killers) were starving.”

Meanwhile, another version of the incident, claimed that the husband of one of the women, who was killed was the person who hired cultists to invade the beer parlour, alleging that his wife lied to him that she was going to the saloon to make her hair, only to surface at the drinking spot with her lover.

The woman allegedly left two of her children at home and when her husband got wind of her action, he came with cultists, shot dead the wife and people in the beer parlour at the time.

But, Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Charles Muka, told Vanguard when contacted, that only five persons were confirmed dead, while two were rushed to the hospital.

He said: “They were drinking and people came and sprayed bullets on them, four died on the spot and another one died later.”

A source told Vanguard that he counted the corpses, saying “There were about 10 persons drinking in Mama Chabula shop that evening when the gunmen came. We don’t know whether they are former militants, cultists or just criminals but they opened fire, seven persons died on the spot while three were rushed to hospital.

“Of the three that were rushed to the hospital was a bank manager and he died today (Sunday). The gunmen did not rob anybody in the store, they just opened fire at those drinking and left after committing the havoc,” the source added.

A Sapele youth leader, who corroborated the police claim, said, “What I heard was that three men and two women were shot in cold blood. One was shot on his legs, the incident happened about 8 pm. We are all confused, there is tension everywhere, nobody seems to know the real reason for the massacre.”

The police do not even know because the people were drinking when they opened fire at them,” he added. via VANGUARD

A MAN FROM MY OFFICE TODAY SAID HE WAS AT THE SCENE AT THE TIME OF THE WHOLE SHOOTING. THE GIST WAS THAT WHEN THE ARMED MEN CAME DOWN,THE ONLY WORD ONE SAID WAS 'KILL THEM ALL' AND I WONDER WHY SOMEONE WOULD BE THAT HEARTLESS

i will be surprise anyone that has stayed in sapele lately should say he or she is surprise, it's only a liar that will say he or she doesn't foreseen this coming in sapele, in today's sapele, in a gathering of any 5young men, 4 of then are cultist and its only one, i say only that is still innocent, the issue of cultist is so rampant that they known themselves and the police, government officials knows them very very well, i am not surprise at all. And this is just the beginning of what is to go come, and please, boko haram has nothing to do with this, this is purely a frat matter, they know themselves.

Yeah, this is true as I hear from reliable sources present too, they were out to gun just one person but were unable to identify him, instead of wasting time, they were ordered to shoot everyone present.

May the souls of the departed R.I.P Amen
