The killing came just two days after a ticketing agent of the Okada Riders Association in the state was shot dead by yet-to-be-identified gunmen.

However, the state’s Commissioner of Police, SP Adenitan Akinwale has ordered an investigation into the killing.

LEADERSHIP gathered that his assailants stormed the deceased’s shop around 7am in the morning on a motorbike after opening his shop for the day’s business.

A source close to the area said, “They took his money, phones and other valuables after shooting him and ran away. Though, I did not witness the incident, but we all came out on hearing the gunshot fired at Alfa Taofeek.

“He was shot at the lower part of his abdomen and lost quite a lot of blood, part of it you can see in and around the shop before he was rushed to the Teaching Hospital where he gave up the ghost”.

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.
