A witness who requested anonymity said the victims were killed under Ogbor Hill Waterside Bridge.
He said they were dealers of musical equipment and footwear before the gunmen killed them.
“I was here as one of the victims pulled his car over to greet his friend, the other victim. The gunmen suddenly arrived in four tricycles, confronted one of them and demanded some money,” said the witness. “In the ensuing argument, they shot the victims. It was disturbing that the attack took place just a few metres from the Eziama Police Station.”
