The suspects, who were reportedly targeting the outlet, allegedly fired several shots, hitting the victim in the head and killing him on the spot as people nearby ran for safety.

The assailants then sped off towards the Miwani area, locals said.

Police officers later arrived at the scene and took the body away as investigations into the shooting were launched.
