The incident, which occurred about 6:00p.m. on Saturday on the Ologbotsere Street, off Benin Technical College (BTC), Ugbowo Quarters, in Egor Local Government Area, left residents in the community in panic.
The vigilance group in the area immediately stormed the crime scene to rescue their colleague, but was found dead in the pool of his own blood.
