The PPRO said the hoodlums had on 5th of April 2020 attacked their victim in his house situated at 20 Odo Balogun Street Oke Sapen, in Ijbeu-Igbo where the deceased was shot on the head and stomach in presence of his pregnant wife, consequent upon which the victim died on the spot.

"Since then, police has been on their trail before they were finally apprehended following painstaking intelligence and technical investigation."
