The Bayelsa State Police Command has started a full investigation following the death of a Bolt driver in Yenagoa, the state capital. The driver was found dead early Friday morning at Samphino Junction in the Kpansia area of the city.

Eyewitnesses say passersby noticed the man’s lifeless body inside his vehicle and quickly informed the police. The area was sealed off as officers began examining the scene.

This tragic incident occurred less than a week after another young man, Daniel Ayama, a 27-year-old graduate from the Federal University, Otuoke, was murdered just a short distance away from where the Bolt driver was found.

Initial findings suggest that the Bolt driver may have been shot at close range, raising suspicions of a targeted killing. Interestingly, nothing appeared to be stolen from the vehicle, which points away from robbery as a motive.
