Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle
Amosun, has said security operatives will fish out the killers of a
former Chairman of Ikeja Local Government, Alhaji Toyin Hamzat.
Hamzat, who was also a former Special
Adviser to the Lagos Governor on Health, was allegedly assassinated by
unknown gunmen in Sagamu, Ogun State on Sunday.
According to a statement by the
Governor’s Senior Special Adviser on Media, Funmi Wakama, on Thursday in
Abeokuta, Amosun said this during his visit to the Aiyepe, Ogun State
residence of the deceased.
The governor assured the people that
security agencies had already intensified investigations into the
alleged assassination of the late politician with a view to fishing out
the “perpetrators of the dastardly act and ensure they faced the wrath
of the law.”
The governor joined other mourners at
the family house of the deceased at Aiyepe in Odogbolu Local Government
Area to pray for the repose of his soul and for Almighty Allah to grant
Hamzat’s family the fortitude to bear the loss.
Speaking earlier on behalf of the
family, Alhaji Tijani Hamzat, thanked the governor for finding time to
commiserate with them at “this trying moment,”noting, “seeing the
governor has lifted our spirit in a way.”
Tijani said he had always known the
governor as a leader who was ready to give his all to the service of
humanity, adding that the state government should ensure that justice
was done regarding his brother’s murder.
