Ogun State government on Friday announced a N50m reward for anybody who could provide information leading to the arrest of the killers of Taiwo Oyekanmi, the former Director of Finance and Administration attached to Governor Dapo Abiodun’s office, Oke-Mosan Abeokuta.
Oyekanmi, aged 51, was last Wednesday killed by gunmen suspected to be armed robbers at the Kuto flyover bridge in Abeokuta.
The deceased and two others were said to have been accosted by the gun-wielding hoodlums while returning to the governor’s office with a cash sum of about N112m said to have been withdrawn from two major commercial banks within the Abeokuta metropolis.
The gunmen were said to have made away with the huge cash after killing the Ifonyintedo-born chartered accountant.
Governor Abiodun, who said that the brutal killing of the senior civil servant left his cabinet devastated and traumatised, promised to leave no stone unturned until the killers were brought to justice.
However, in a statement on Friday, the state governor said that a cash reward of N50m awaited whoever provided information that could help the security agents unravel the mindless killing.
The statement added, “Ogun State Government has announced a reward of N50m for anyone with information that could lead to the arrest of the killers of the state’s Director of Finance and Administration, Mr Taiwo Oyekanmi, on November 30, 2023, in Abeokuta.
“Information provided would be treated with utmost confidentiality. Such information can be sent to the under-listed telephone numbers: 08037441955, 08033074371, 08081775020, 08034062773, 08032136765.”
