The victim, Ogoirawo Omoge, was reportedly attacked along the Ayeka/Igodan-Igbokoda highway in the Okitipupa Local Government Area.

Ogoirawo was rushed to a nearby medical facility but sadly did not survive the injuries. He was confirmed dead shortly after arrival.

According to the police, a suspect connected to the killing has been arrested. “One suspect has been arrested and is currently being held in custody,” the police spokesperson confirmed.
