Sources added that he was repeatedly shot on his chest and head. The hoodlums were said to have waited until their target gave up the ghost before leaving.

Multiple military sources confirmed the development to our correspondent on Saturday morning.

A police source in the area also confirmed the development.

The deceased was driving in a Toyota Camry with registration number: Delta: EFR 965 SN, when he was ambushed by the hoodlums.
