Motorcycle-riding gunmen have reportedly killed one Mutiu Salako, an operator of Point of Sale, POS, at Oke Lantoro in Abeokuta Ogun State.

Newspot gathered that the incident occurred at 6 pm on Sunday.

A viral WhatsApp message alerting members of the public to the incident attributed the attack to a cult-related killing.

But the police spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, confirmed the incident on Monday as a case of attempted robbery.

Odutola said that the police, during the raid of the area where the crime was committed, had equally arrested three suspects.
