In a tragic incident, a popular Point of Sale (PoS) operator, identified as Alfa, was shot dead by gunmen in his shop located around Adebayo Area, Ado-Ekiti, the capital of Ekiti state.
The assailants, numbering about three and riding on a motorcycle, stormed the area on Thursday and opened fire on the victim, killing him on the spot.
