Unknown gunmen have on Tuesday gruesomely murdered the chairman of the Bayelsa State Butchers Association, Mr. Chibuzor Nwachukwu.
He was reportedly ambushed and murdered on Tuesday night at his doorstep by gunmen who waited for his return from the market at about 8:00 p.m. He was shot with a single bullet that shattered his brain, killing him instantly.
The 42-year-old Chibuzor, who hailed from Nkanun in Enugu State, who is survived by a wife and four children, was killed on Ogilo Street, a suburb of Yenagoa infamous for cult-related violence and killings.
Residents reported that the man was gunned down as he was about to enter into his apartment. Some of them said the manner of the killing shows that assassins murdered him.
Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer, Bayelsa State Command, Asinim Butswat, said the police have visited the scene of crime and investigation has commenced.
