Gunmen suspected to be assassins have murdered one Dr. David Adefikayo, the Medical Director of Dafikayo Clinic, in his residence in Kanbi, Moro Local Government Area of Kwara State.
The assailants reportedly broke into the deceased’s residence around 8:30 pm on Thursday and brutally murdered the medical officer in the presence of his wife and children.
