Suspected armed robbers Wednesday robbed a PoS operator and shot dead a young man identified as Tega, at Otovwodo community of Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.
It was gathered that the dare-devil robbers carried out their heinous act in broad daylight without fear of security operatives.
An eyewitness who pleaded anonymity while speaking to journalists said the suspects arrived at the PoS shop in an attempt to rob their victim but were resisted.
He further said, “They shot at the PoS operator thrice and the gunshots couldn’t penetrate, and as they were escaping, shot at Tega at the head and one other person on the leg.”
Efforts to speak with the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Onome Onowakpoyeya, were not successful, but a senior police officer attached to the Ughelli Area command confirms the incident.
PoS operators have in recent months faced a series of robbery attacks which have led to the killing of more than three persons.
