A middle-aged man, who has yet to be identified, was killed by gunmen on Monday afternoon in Ibadan metropolis, Oyo State.

The incident occurred at Anfani junction along Ring Road, at about 3p.m.

Nigerian Tribune learnt from an eyewitness that the assailants, who were on motorcycles, trailed the victim to the location where he was shot.

According to the source, “we heard gunshots. He was shot twice. At first, we thought it was a tire burst, but then we saw the young man lying in a pool of his blood.”


He further recounted: “He was shot in the abdomen. They didn’t take his phone, but they took something from him that was likely to be money. We suspected that he must have been coming from a bank.”

Another motorcycle rider who witnessed the scene said: “I first thought it was police pursuing Yahoo boys. But when he was shot, we all had to run for safety. By the time we realized they were killers, they had moved toward Anfani Road.”


When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer of the Oyo State Police Command, CSP Adewale Osifeso, confirmed the incident, saying that it was already under investigation while efforts were being made to get the deceased’s identity.

He added that an update would be provided as the investigation progresses.

Rest in peace, so sad to lose our brothers to needless violence.

1. Maybe the killers were sit at home enforcers, as it happened on a Mondayafternoon.

2. Governor Semi Makinde is not doing anything to end insecurity upon all the security votes he has been collecting

3. Tinubu continues to keep silent, he cannot condemn this evil act now because it happened in his region.

4. The people should condemn evil, and fish out the perpetrators who are among the populace. So that the group they pampered will not come back to swallow them.

Southwest is worse than Afghanistan. FG should take over the region and depose the governors.

It's still the safest place for your kinsmen.
