An operator of a Point Of Sales (POS) shop was on Friday shot dead by some suspected armed robbers in Benin city, the Edo state capital.
Igbere TV gathered that the incident happened at the popular Godwin Abbey Way, off Sapele road, GRA, in Benin city.
It was gathered that the armed men stormed the centre at exactly 12:50 PM and went straight to the young girl in her early twenties who was operating the POS shop.
Our correspondent reports that the hoodlums after collecting her money, mobile phones and other personal items still shot the young girl dead on the spot.
The reason for the killing even after they had successfully robbed her could not be easily ascertained.
Igbere TV however gathered that the dare-devil armed men later zoomed off towards the Sapele road end of Benin city.
The death of the young girl attracted some sympathisers who described the deceased as a young promising girl who was into POS business to make ends meet.
Meanwhile, luck on Friday ran out of armed robbers who came to attack traders in New Benin Market, Benin City as they were gunned down by men of the Nigerian Police.
