A 41-year-old bar owner, identified as “Oluomo” in Yaba, Ondo West Local Government Area of Ondo State has been killed by unknown assailants on Thursday October 31.

According to eyewitness, a group of men fatally shot Oluomo, minutes after walking in and ordering for drinks.
The perpetrators quickly fled the scene after the attack.
A mourner at the scene, Mrs. Denhinde Sola, shared her account of the harrowing ordeal.
“Oluomo came to the bar as usual. Just as he was about to close up for the night, some men came in, sat down, and ordered drinks. Before anyone knew what was happening, they pointed a gun at him and fired,” she explained.
Family members of the deceased frantically attempted to rush him to a nearby hospital, but sadly, he was declared dead upon arrival.
Police officers from the Yaba Divisional Station later arrived, removing the body to the general hospital, where it was transferred to the state mortuary.
