Alfa Ajagbe, a Nigerian man, has been murdered in Ekiti State.
He was killed by suspected cultists in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State capital.
The middle-aged man, said to be a staunch Islamic faithful, was attacked by his assailants along Atundaolu-Irona area of Ado-Ekiti Monday evening.
It was gathered that the deceased was attacked while heading home through the area.
The suspected cultists shot him and when they realised the bullets were not having any effect on him, they broke his skull with a big stone, a witness said.
The witness, who preferred not to be named, said, “The deceased was returning home around 6:30pm to break his fast when he was waylaid and attacked by some persons believed to be cultists in the Atundaolu area, very close to a brothel in Irona Street.
“He was a perfect, gentle and easy-going person. Everyone was wondering why he was attacked.”
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Sunday Abutu, promised to get back on the matter but did not do so at press time last night.
