On Tuesday evening, unidentified gunmen allegedly killed three people in Sapele, Sapele Local Government Area, Delta State.
At around 7:10 p.m., gunmen stormed a provision store across the street from Seplat Petroleum Development Company on Ufuoma Atose street, according to a Facebook user, Sapele Oghenek, who made the disclosure on his verified page.
He went on to say that they opened fire on some of the customers without provocation, killing two of them right there and then.
Several other people were injured, including the landlord of the compound that also houses the provision store, who was rushed to a nearby hospital but died before medical personnel arrived.
