A 30-year-old man, Onyinye Onwuka, has been shot dead following a scuffle over a land that has been in dispute between Obodogwugwu and Ugbolu communities in Oshimili North Local Government Area of Delta State.
It was gathered that the victim, who was from Idigbe-Ocha quarters, Obodogwugwu in Okpanam community, was shot dead on Sunday by some yet-to-be-identified men.
