The Benue Police Command has confirmed the death of a businessman, Mr Felix Toechukwu, after he was shot by unknown gun men.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, ASP Moses Yamu, who confirmed the killing in Makurdi, said Toechukwu was shot by assailants on Saturday evening.

He said the deceased was robbed at gun point in his house at the close of business.

Yamu said the robbers had trailed him from his shop to his house at Nyiman where they dispossessed him of cash and other valuables. He said the deceased, however, died on Sunday at a private hospital.

The PPRO said investigations were in top gear to bring the killers to book.  (NAN)
