Some yet-to-be-identified gunmen have killed a civil servant identified as Afolabi Adeleke in Osun State.
The incident, it was gathered, happened at the victim’s residence in Ipetumodu in Ife North Local Government Area of the state.
The gunmen reportedly stormed Adeleke’s house in the wee hours on Thursday night, robbed him of his mobile phone and money and shot him thereafter.
The Acting Public Relations Officer of the Osun State Police Command, Emmanuel Giwa-Alade, confirmed the incident on Friday, saying the victim died before he was rushed to a hospital.
Giwa-Alade disclosed that the gunmen killed Adeleke, who was a worker at the Ife North Local Government Secretariat before his tragic murder, with a dane gun.
He said the moment the men of the underworld left the environment, neighbours who heard the gunshot reported the matter to the police.
According to him, the moment a team of police officers arrived at the scene, Adeleke was rushed to a hospital but he was declared dead on arrival by a doctor on duty.
Giwa-Alade assured members of the public that the perpetrators would be arrested.
