Gunmen, suspected to be members of a secret cult, shot and killed a disabled man on Friday night while he was riding a motorcycle in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The victim, identified as Hon. Mutiu Akinbami, also known as Igor, was reportedly attacked between the popular Brewery Bus Stop and Olomoore Junction at approximately 6:13 p.m.
His assailants were said to have driven a tinted Toyota Hilux, the registration number of which could not be identified.
Reports indicated that the victim, dressed in a black polo shirt and white jeans, had been using an iron rod to aid his mobility after losing his left leg several years ago.
At the time of the attack, he was riding the motorcycle with his daughter. Akinbami was a former councillor at the Abeokuta North Local Government Area.
Eyewitnesses, including members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) near the scene, revealed that the assailants had trailed him from his residence in the Olomoore Federal Housing Estate.
After carrying out the attack, they made a swift detour at the Brewery area and fled the scene.
