It was earlier reported how suspected armed robbers shot dead Oyekanmi at Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.
According to reports, Oyekanmi was gunned down on Wednesday afternoon on top of the NNPC Bridge after leaving a bank where he had gone to make withdrawals in preparation for Thursday’s budget presentation by the governor.
He was said to have been rushed to the State Hospital, Ijaye, Abeokuta where he was pronounced dead.
During the condolence visit, the governor said the state government took responsibility for all that happened and would also be responsible for the family’s welfare and well-being.
Meanwhile, the police earlier said that the killers of Oyekanmi were people in-house.
The police revealed that the robbery and murder were premeditated, wondering how the armed robbers were fully armed with a sledgehammer to break into the bullion van.
