Suspected gunmen on Friday evening killed a man in Ekiti State with his wife and daughter abducted and taken to unknown destination by the gun wielding criminals.<\/p>\n
\nThe victim, whose identities are yet to be ascertained, was said to be travelling in company of his wife and daughter in a Lexus 330 Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) between Ewu-Ayetoro-Ekiti road in Ido\/Osi Local Government Area of Ekiti State, when the gunmen rained bullets on his vehicle.<\/p>\n

Though, rumour had it that there were five occupants in the vehicle, the police Public Relations Officer, Ekiti Command, Sunday Abutu countered the claim, saying they were three.<\/p>\n

It was gathered that the passengers, who were said to be guests at an occasion in the area were returning to their destinations when they were waylaid by some bandits.<\/p>\n

A source said: \u201cThe man and the family were returning to their base when they were waylaid. The victim was shot in the head and chest.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey didn\u2019t take the vehicle, they only left the corpse of the man and other people in the vehicle were taken away.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was pool of blood inside the Jeep and this made people to suspect that those who did the work were kidnappers\u201d.<\/p>\n

Confirming the incident, the Police Spokesman, Sunday Abutu, added that the sympathizers could not do much to save the victim, as he died on the spot.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe report we got was that, the family was traveling along that root and suddenly some suspected gunmen fired gunshots at them, killing the husband and took away the wife and their daughter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe police have mobilised to the spot and combing the surrounding forests with other agencies like the Amotekun Corps, Nigeria n Security and Civil Defence Corps,local hunters and vigilance group.<\/p>\n

\u201cKilling and kidnaping are two evils all of us as patriotic citizens must join hands with security agencies to defeat.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose perpetrating these didn\u2019t mean well for our country and we must all perceive them as enemies of this nation\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n
