A Point of Sale (POS) operator simply known as “Pastor” in the Apata area of Ibadan, Oyo State, was shot dead by gunmen on Friday.
An eyewitness said that the hoodlums struck a few minutes after the victim opened his shop for the day’s business.
He said the gunmen asked him to give them the bag in his hand at gunpoint and he did immediately.
“Pastor normally comes early in the morning. He did the same today and soon after he opened the shop, the two gunmen on a motorcycle approached him.
“However, unknown to the robbers, the bag contained Pastor’s food, while the one containing money was somewhere in the shop.
“They took the food bag and as they were about to leave, I think Pastor told them that they would be apprehended.
“That was when they shot him at close range,” he stated.
