A yet to be identified man has been assassinated by unknown gunmen at Woji Road, Port Harcourt.
His vehicle, a kia optima was surrounded by eyewitnesses.
It was gathered that the assailants trailed the victim from an undisclosed location and shot him on the head.
This comes few hours after another man was reportedly shot at George Sekibo Street off Odili Road.
The Rivers State Commissioner of Police, CP Joseph Mukan, who confirmed the development to journalists, said the victim was trailed from a bank where he went to withdraw undisclosed amount of money.
Mukan said: “The criminals followed the victim from a bank where he went to withdraw money. While they were chasing him he lost control of the steering and ran into a ditch.
“The criminals met him there and killed him. They did not take the money he withdrew. They were two people in the car when the incident happened. The other person sustained injuries and he is receiving treatment.
“At the moment, we have recovered the corpse of the victim and his car. We have commenced investigation to get the killers. We have gone to the bank to get footage of the outside CCTV camera that may have captured outside of the bank”, CP said.
