The deceased popularly called Cyril Makanaki by his admirers was killed in the night at the weekend in his house in the Decima area of the town, and found in a pool of his blood in the morning, the next day, according to TheNewsGuru.com (TNG).
This has caused tension in the area as security operatives, including men of the vigilante group, have taken over the area in search of the killers.
Many of the shops in the area have also been closed as a result of the incident.
A neighbour, who simply called himself Lucky and who claimed the gunmen were robbers said, “They came to rob. They first went to the plaza opposite the house before coming to this place.”
Another neighbor, Eniagbe, who claimed to live in the same compound with Mudiagbe, said the gunmen shot the deceased through the window, saying “They were banging his window and when he opened his window, he was shot on his chest.”
The Police Public Relations (PPRO), Delta State Command, Edafe Bright, when contacted, said “I am yet to be briefed, but immediately I get the report, I will let you know the situation.”
