The assailants, whose motives remain unclear, according to information gained entry into Dr. Adefikayo’s home around 8:30pm, and despite the doctor’s desperate pleas and offers of money or any other possessions they might wish to take, the gunmen remained resolute in their deadly intent, tragically executing their mission in front of his horrified wife and children.
