Also, one of
the children of the late lecturer, Oyin Adejobi, said: “As we finished our
evening prayer at 10:05p.m., daddy drove into the compound. “Then I overheard
an argument between the gateman and some strange people. I looked out from the
window and I saw another black car that entered our compound together with
daddy’s car.
“Our gateman
was querying the occupants of the other car, but they hit him and ordered him
to lie down. “The men in the black car came out before daddy could alight from
his car and one of them shot into the air.
Two of them
advanced to dad’s car while others came inside. “Grandma started begging those
that came inside to spare our lives. Suddenly, we heard gunshot, twice, from
outside. “The assailants left at 10:20p.m. and took daddy’s car away. I
overheard daddy begging them that they should not take him away.”
We thought he
was kidnapped’
“When they
left, we thought they took him away and we started praying for the safety of
daddy without knowing that he had been killed. When the police came, they saw
his lifeless body in the flowerbed.”
The younger
brother of the deceased, who is also the Public Relations Officer for Ogun
State Police Command, Prince Olumuyiwa Adejobi, described the death of his
brother as very pathetic.
The Police
Public Relations Officer for Osun State Police Command, Mrs Folashade Odoro,
while confirming the incident, said the command had commenced investigation
into the matter and assured that the police would fish out the killers.
