A 20-year old undergraduate cadet of the Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna has been shot dead by gunmen suspected to be cultists in Bayelsa State on Saturday, July 8.
It was gathered that Cadet Saviour Enoch, who was admitted into the NDA two years ago, was killed on Saturday about 8pm along Gwegwe/Navy Road at Ovom, Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.
He was said to be on a holiday in Yenagoa from the NDA when the incident occurred.
According to Bodmas Kemepadei, the deceased was chatting with his visiting friend and Naval Rating with the Central Naval Command on the street when they heard screams from a victim whose bag was snatched by suspected cultists.
"Saviour, who was a resident of the area, responded to the cry of help and went after the suspects. It was gathered that unknown to him (Saviour), other members of the cult group had hidden somewhere to ward off any rescue attempt and he was shot at a close range. It was further learnt that immediately they shot him, they all (cultists) disappeared in pandemonium created by the gruesome murder."
