“Two vigilantes, including the hotel security guards, also sustained fatal injuries from the gunshots; three other persons also sustained gunshot wounds.
“We are currently monitoring the situation, and calm has returned to the Oba community. Some of the eyewitnesses have given us information that is helpful,” Mr Ikenga said.
