Moses Joseph, 24, was assassinated by gunmen suspected of being cultists in Igode, Ogijo, Sagamu Local Government Area, Ogun State.
ANAEDOONLINE According to Metro, the deceased, a Benue State native, was shot to death on Tuesday at 8 p.m.
Morenikeji, Moses’ sister-in-law, told our correspondent on Wednesday that the deceased was shot outside their house at Fakile in the Igode town of Ogijo.
“Moses is my husband’s younger brother,” she explained. He was out and about in the neighbourhood on Tuesday when my husband went to a football watching place to watch a game.
“Suddenly, we heard a gunshot and after that that I heard people screaming that Moses has been shot. When I heard people screaming, I went outside only to see my brother-in-law in the pool of his blood. We rushed him to the hospital but by the time we got there, he was already dead.
