SUSPECTED bandits have shot and killed Akinola Oyabiyi, a private health worker, in Akure, the capital of Ondo State.
The 46-year-old father of four was attacked around 8 p.m. on Tuesday in Oba-Ile, near Akure Airport, while driving home.
A family source revealed that he was shot before he had the chance to escape from his vehicle.
Residents of the area are on edge, as this tragic incident follows the recent abduction of four students from the Federal College of Agriculture in the same vicinity just a week ago.
Confirming the incident, the Public Relations Officer of the Ondo State Police Command, Funmilayo Odunlami, stated that an investigation is underway and efforts are being made to track down the perpetrators.
