38-year-old businessman assassinated in Ogun

A 38-year-old businessman, Shakiru Olufunmi, has been assassinated by some unknown persons in Ado-Odo town, Ogun State

 

The man was reportedly killed late in the early hours of Saturday around the Oke-Oyinbo area in Ado-Odo, an ancient town in Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area of the state.

Sources said the victim was shot at close range in the head, moments after he had left a gathering with his friends.

Punch Metro gathered that the cash in Olufunmi’s vehicle remained intact inside his bag.

“Nothing was taken from his vehicle. This has led the community to strongly suspect a premeditated assassination rather than a random act of violence,” a source said on the condition of anonymity.

The deceased, who was a transporter and wood seller, is survived by an octogenarian father, two wives and an undisclosed number of children.

A community leader, who did not want his name in print, said the man’s body was discovered in his car and had since been laid to rest according to Islamic rites.
