The source who did not want her name in the print described the deceased as gentleman who is working hard to fend for his family.

“Last week, he told me he could not travel for Sallah because there was no money spend”.

Some residents who besieged the scene called on the police to halt such killings in the Ado Ekiti, the state’s capital.

The Police Public Relations Officer in the State, DSP Sunday Abutu confirmed the incident.

Abutu said, “Immediately we got the information, we mobilised our men to the scene. The man was found lying down in a pool of his blood and was moved to the general hospital where he was confirmed dead. His body has been deposited in the morgue.
