The attackers, whose motives remained unknown, reportedly broke into the deceased residence around 8:30 pm on Thursday and shot the medical officer in the presence of his wife and children.
Despite the medical doctor’s plea and offer of money among other items, the gunmen went ahead with their deadly intention.
The hoodlums abducted one of the daughters of the slain doctor, Christiana Adejoke Alabi, 23, who was learnt to have regained her freedom on Friday.
