“We all fled as some boys carrying sticks, matchetes and charms attacked
Agbefawo.
“He attempted to flee, but those that attacked him were many and they must have studied his movement well.
“He was left with serious injuries on his head. He bled to death on the spot. No one could go near him. I watched happenings from a hiding near the scene.”
A reliable security source, who pleaded anonymity, also told
