(GRAPHIC PHOTOS) MAN KILLED BY UNKNOWN GUNMEN IN BROAD DAYLIGHT IN BENIN

A yet-to-be identified man was gruesomely murdered by unknown gunmen at Siluko road, Benin on Friday, February 10th. According to eyewitness reports from a social media user, Sochima Nweke, the victim and his family were driving in a white Toyota hilux van before it was overtaken and blocked by the unknown assassins.

They jumped out of their vehicle, numbering about 4, heavily armed with Ak-47s and opened fire on the white hilux. One of the killers then proceeded to the driver's seat of the hilux where the victim was seated, and released bullets into the victim, killing him instantly. The wife of the deceased escaped unharmed but his son was shot.
