Dapo Abiodun places N50 million bounty on killers of Ogun finance director Taiwo Oyekanmi
Governor Dapo Abiodun’s government has announced a reward of N50 million for any information that could lead to the arrest of the killers of Taiwo Oyekanmi, the director of finance and administration attached to the governor’s office.
Tokunbo Talabi, the secretary to the state government, announced the reward in a statement on Friday.
According to the statement, any information provided will be treated “with the utmost confidentiality.”
The Ogun government said such information could be sent to 08037441955, 08033074371, 08081775020, 08034062773, and 08032136765.
Suspected armed robbers on November 29 shot dead Mr Oyekanmi and carted away government funds.
Mr Oyekanmi had cashed an undisclosed amount of money from a branch of Fidelity Bank in Abeokuta and was heading back to the office when the gunmen waylaid him.
According to a source, the gunmen, about five of them, shot the accountant dead at Kuto bridge in Abeokuta and went away with the government’s money.
It was gathered that Mr Oyekanmi and other aides who sustained gunshot wounds during the attacks were rushed to the State General Hospital, Ijaye, where the accountant later died.
