CBN staff, three others killed at Nasarawa supermarket

Suspected armed robbers struck the popular Abdullahi Supermarket located at One Man Village, near Mararaba in Nasarawa State, on Tuesday evening, killing four customers, including a staff member of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

Identified as Daniel Adefemi Okunade, the CBN staff was shot in the head and died immediately.

The identity of three others who were also gruesomely murdered along with him could not be ascertained as of the time of this report.

According to a witness, the robbery operation lasted less than two minutes, during which the CBN staff, who is said to be the choirmaster of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), also in One Man Village, was gunned down.

He was said to have had a stopover at the supermarket to buy bread for his family when the robbers found their way into the ever-busy store and took the lives of the four customers.

His Toyota Venza car parked outside the supermarket was not touched by the men of the underworld.

The late Okunade was said to be returning from work when he met his untimely death in the hands of the men of the underworld.

At the time of this report, the atmosphere in the area was tense as people kept trooping into the supermarket to identify the robbery victims.

Meanwhile, police operatives from New Nyanya Divisional Police Station have moved the corpses of the robbery victims to the Mararaba Medical Center mortuary in Mararaba.

The Nasarawa State Police Command has yet to release any information on the incident.

However, hundreds of sympathizers, including church members, have been trooping to the house of the late CBN staff to sympathize with his family.
