Gunmen, in the early hours of yesterday,
stormed an apartment in a block of flats in Unity Estate, Akowonjo area of
Egbeda, killing a man, his wife, his child and their maid.
According to Vanguard, the gunmen suspected to be hired
assassins, stormed the building at about 2am and fired shots, apparently to
wade off intruders.
A resident of another flat in the block, who pleaded anonymity,
said there was an argument between the gunmen and owner of the flat whose
identity could not be immediately ascertained.
According to the neighbour, “the gunmen scaled through the fence
of the building and held the gateman hostage.
“They beat the gate man, tied his hands and asked him to leave
the vicinity, threatening to kill him if he alerted the Police.
“They, thereafter, made straight for the flat from where we
heard argument. We heard the owner of the apartment shouting ‘no, no’. We did
not know what the argument was about. The next thing we heard were gun shots,
with the victim still shouting ‘no, don’t,’ but the assassins continued to
fired intermittently.
Sound of the gun shots died down when it was 4 am. But nobody
dared to go to the affected flat until daylight.”
It was gathered that policemen later arrived and took the
corpses away.
