The brutal daylight murder of a vulcanizer on the popular Warrake Road in Auchi, Etsako West, has left the community in shock and disbelief.
The ugly incident occurred on Friday, May 2nd, around 4 PM .
Residents are grappling with the implications of this shocking act of violence, struggling to make sense of such a heinous crime.
The victim, identified as Boyo, and in his mid-twenties, was ruthlessly shot by unidentified assailants who fled the scene, leaving him lifeless in a pool of blood.
Boyo was known in the community as “hardworking and quiet,” and his murder has raised serious concerns about public safety in the area.
A worried community leader aptly voiced the prevailing sentiments, questioning, “How can someone be murdered in such a cold-blooded manner and broad daylight as well?” He urged the police to act swiftly.
Reports indicate that two armed men arrived on a motorcycle at Boyo’s roadside shop. One of the attackers dismounted and approached Boyo while he was resting, firing two shots at point-blank range.
Another nearby trader, a witness to the incident who wished to remain anonymous, recounted the harrowing event with chilling clarity: “It happened so fast. The shooter didn’t say a word; he just fired and fled with the bike rider. We were all terrified.”
As of now, authorities have yet to provide any comment on the incident, nor have they identified any suspects.
However, community leaders are demanding a thorough investigation, with many speculating that the shooting could be cult-related
