Ogun State Government has placed a N50 million bounty on the killers of former director of finance and administration attached to Governor Dapo Abiodun’s office Taiwo Oyekanmi.
Gunmen shot Mr Oyekanmi, 52, dead on November 29 at the Kuto Flyover Bridge, Abeokuta on his return from a bank after withdrawing money for the government’s use. The gunmen also made away with the money.
Governor Abiodun, who said the killing of the senior civil servant left his cabinet devastated and traumatised, promised not to leave any stone unturned until the killers are brought to justice.
