Gunmen killed APC chairman in Osun: Police
The police in Osun has confirmed the killing of Gbenga Ogbara, chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Atakumosa East Central LGA of the state.
The command’s spokesperson, Yemisi Opalola, said on Monday that suspected gunmen stormed Mr Ogbara’s residence in Igangan, his hometown, around 12:00 a.m. and killed him in his sitting room.
Mrs Opalola said the politicians body had been deposited at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital (OAUTH), Wesley Guild, Ilesa.
She said the police’s investigation on the matter was ongoing, and promised that the perpetrators would be brought to book.
“Policemen had since been deployed to the area. The criminals will not escape justice,” the spokesperson said.
It was gathered that the killing might be politically motivated, especially with the governorship election in the state being less than three months away.
