Afolabi said that the killers were still at large.

He said that the attack took place on Sept. 30, as unknown gunmen in their large number allegedly stormed the premises of the cattle rearer and left him in the pool of his blood.

The spokesman said that the deceased brother had lost his life early in 2021, at the same address with the victim.

Afolabi said that manhunt has been launched for perpetrators of the criminal act. 

He assured that the NSCDC in collaboration with other security agencies would arrest the perpetrators and ensure prosecution after investigations.
