Nicholas Ofodile, a Kogi-based businessman and the proprietor of the popular chain of Chuks Supermarket in Lokoja, Kogi State, was tragically killed by unidentified gunmen.
Reports indicate that Ofodile encountered an armed gang operating along the Gegu/Koton-Karfe axis of the Kogi-Abuja expressway on Wednesday afternoon. He inadvertently drove into a fierce gun battle between the criminals and the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), resulting in his death, as well as that of two other individuals.
This incident occurred just a week after suspected armed robbers killed eight police operatives, including the Divisional Police Officer, a female police officer, and two civilians in Isanlu.
