Some yet- to- be identified gunmen last Thursday killed Captain Samson Amineshi (rtd.), a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akoko- Edo local government of Edo State.
He was shot along the Igarra-Okpe road.
Amineshi, a former councillor, was believed to be preparing for the forthcoming council polls in the state.
He was said to be driving back home to Okpe after attending a social function in Igarra with two other occupants.
They were reportedly flagged down by the first set of gunmen who he was said to have dodged by speeding off.
Unknown to him, another group of gunmen laid metres ahead of him.
The late Amineshi told the occupants of his car to dock when the second set of gunmen suddenly appeared and fired directly at him.
The victim was said to have died on the spot. His killers later made away with undisclosed amount of money collected from the occupants.
Another version of the story suspected assassination as the gunmen were said to have shot directly at him and sped off in a motorbike parked nearby.
He was a former councillor and was believed to be preparing for the forthcoming council polls in the state.
Family sources said the matter has been reported at the Igarra police station.
The State Police Public Relations Officer, Stephen Onwochei, could not be reached yesterday for confirmation.
