Two men died on Monday, in Azikoro suburb of Yenagoa, as gunmen rained bullets on them in their car around 10.30 a.m., an eyewitness told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

The witness said that the assailants, driving a car behind the victims’ car, suddenly overtook it and shot at the occupants.

Not satisfied, the suspected gunmen returned after driving away for 20 metres to pump more bullets to ensure the victims were dead, the eyewitness said.

When NAN visited the scene, policemen, led by the DPO of Azikoro Police Station, Rita Green, were seen removing the two bodies into a police van.

The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr Fidelis Odunna, confirmed the incident to NAN on telephone and said investigation was underway.

NAN reports that the police later towed the bullet-battered car to their station.
