A popular Pharmacist in Gboko Benue named Cletus Ternenge Labe (pictured above), the founder of La-Bet
Pharmaceuticals was assassinated by unknown gunmen at
about 7:45pm yesterday January 21st right inside his pharmaceutical complex.
According to a direct relative who spoke with CFB, Cletus got an emergency call to come over to his health center around 7:35pm yesterday; he hurriedly
left his home and went there, only for him to attacked by unknown
persons with a machete. An eye-witness said the assassins numbering 6
arrived the premises
in a red Toyota car popularly called 'dog nyash', two remained in the
car while four went inside. By the time Cletus was found later by
neighbors, his head had been split open. He was also shot. The men also
left his pharmacy with some cash. I have a photo of what happened to
Cletus after the cut but *viewer discretion advise*
Man's inhumanity to man...
"Cletus was a very brave health personnel whom notwithstanding the threats he got from the Doctors Association within Gboko, went ahead to administer health services to the poor masses at a subsidized and affordable rate. He was dragged to court for refusing to stop affordable medical treatments. His life was taken when it became clear that he was going to win the case" a relative said
His death has thrown Gboko city into a state of chaos and
lawlessness as the youths already embarked on violent protest,
destroying properties, blocking roads and most especially destroy sign
posts that has hospital names on them. See the photos below...
