Gunmen Kill Woman In Ekiti
A middle aged woman whose identity is yet to be ascertain was on Saturday morning, shot dead by unknown gunmen.
The incident happened at a junction close to the Federal Polytechnic, Ado Ekiti Continuing Education Center, off, NTA road, Ado Ekiti.
This brings the number of victims of the broad daylight street shootings to four within one month.
Though, the Ekiti State Police Command made some arrest in the last week and paraded the suspects before the press, this morning incident came as a rude shock to the state.
The incident which involved a fifty year old woman, occured at about few minutes to seven in the morning.
Some witnesses said that the armed men attempted to snatch the woman’s bag, but she resisted.
When contacted, the Ekiti State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Sunday Abutu said it was more of a robbery incident, adding that the sum of forty thousand, two hundred and eighty nairy was found in her bag.
He said her body had been deposited in the morgue and the police is on the trail of the criminals.
