AN Ifaki-Ekiti restauranteur, Mr. Niyi Adeoye, was killed last Saturday by gunmen.
The 35-year-old indigene of Igogo-Ekiti was shot at close range in his restaurant.
An eyewitness, simply identified as Kolawole, said four gunmen stormed the restaurant about 10pm and shot Adeoye with a locally made gun.
Kolawole, who was also in the restaurant with three other persons, said: “I was discussing with some friends at the back of the restaurant when two of the gunmen came and ordered us to go inside. It was around 10pm and many people had left. They were four and we were five. They ordered us to lie face down and we did.
“They took my handset immediately we got into the restaurant and did not ask us any question. Then we heard a gunshot. After a few seconds, we realised they had left and got up, but found Adeoye soaked in blood.
“Apart from my handset, they did not take anything from any other person or from the shop. I think they just came to kill him. We rushed him to Marvelous Private Clinic and were referred to the General Hospital in the town.
“At the General Hospital, there was no doctor around and we were told to take him to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) in Ido-Ekiti. He died on our way to FMC and was certified dead by doctors when we got there.”
On the bruises on his face, Kolawole said: “When the gunmen shot at Adeoye, the bullet grazed my face, because he was lying next to me.”
The deceased’s uncle, Niyi Agbemuko, said they would have buried him yesterday, but they are waiting for the police to conclude their investigation.
Adeoye’s body has been deposited at FMC’s morgue.
He is survived by a wife, three children and an aged mother.
