A middle-aged man, Abdulrafiu Afegbua, has been reportedly killed by suspected assassins in Edo State.
The fatal incident occurred on October 5 in the Awoyemi area of Okpella, located in Etsako East Local Government Area.
According to sources, Mr. Afegbua received a phone call late at night while at home with his wife.
Despite her efforts to dissuade him, he rushed out to meet the unknown caller. Tragically, he was shot at close range in the chest and neck, leading to his immediate death.
A source said after waiting for her husband’s return, his widow attempted to contact him via phone, but her calls went unanswered.
A search party later discovered his body in a nearby bush, near his abandoned motorbike.
Edo Police Command spokesperson, SP Moses Yamu, confirmed the incident and stated that investigations are ongoing.
