Gunmen, suspected to be assassins, have tragically taken the life of Dr. David Adefikayo, a highly regarded medical expert and the Medical Director of Dafikayo Clinic in Kanbi, located in the Moro local government area of Kwara State.

The distressing incident unfolded at the doctor’s residence in the same community, marking a shocking and unsettling event for the local community.

The assailants, whose motives remain shrouded in mystery, executed the fatal attack around 8:30 pm on Thursday, forcibly entering the doctor’s home and carrying out the act in the presence of his wife and children.
