Daily Post reports that suspected cultists who had been on rampage in the area, murdered the 20-year-old.
Police spokesman, Charles Muka, confirmed the incident, saying: “Residents, who were interviewed, said they heard sound of gunshot, which made them scamper for safety.”
The police image-maker, said: “The police is however on top of the situation and we shall uncover
the group of the suspects and bring them to book.”
