A security guard, simply identified as Semiu, has been found dead at his workplace in Moniya area of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

Semiu, who was working at Tybato filling station, was allegedly hacked to death by suspected hoodlums who had stormed Asanmajana area on robbery operation.

The community security guards were said to have resisted the hoodlums from carting out their operation as they exchanged gunshots on Friday midnight.

Residents suspected the security guard was killed by the suspected hoodlums on the suspicions that he could identify some of the criminals.

Semiu was found in the pool of his own blood at the wheel alignment section within the filling station.

A stick with bloodstains supposedly used to hit the late Semiu was found close to where the corpse lay.
