His death brings to four the number of casualties in the cult war between the Eiye and Aiye confraternities in the last three months.
The deceased was employed two years ago because of incessant robberies in the community. He was said to have did his job well.He said: “Abbey was killed about 10 metres away from where a wine seller, ‘White’, was killed in March. ‘White’ was beaten to death with a rod. Three persons, including a couple, who offered to help ‘White’ to the hospital, were arrested for murder. The hoodlums first shot him, but the bullets didn’t penetrate, so, they used rod to beat him till he died.
A petty trader said the marauders were young men in their 20s. He said the police that arrived about an hour after the killers left, removed the guard’s body. “I was inside my shop when I received a call that I should lock up and go home because there was tension. As I stood up to do so, I saw people running into our compound to take refuge. All of us were on the floor while the attack was on.
