Armed robbers intercepted the Director of Finance at the Ogun State Governor’s office, Taiwo Oyekanmi, as he transported government funds.
The hooded assailants, numbering about five, ambushed Oyekanmi's makeshift bullion van on an overhead bridge, firing shots and making off with the funds after breaking into the van.
The accountant, along with other aides, sustained gunshot injuries and was rushed to the State General Hospital, Ijaye, where he tragically succumbed to his injuries. The incident has prompted a police investigation, with the Commissioner of Police confirming efforts to trace the perpetrators, who fled with the loot.
