The Ogun State Government has announced a reward of N50 million for anyone who can provide information leading to the arrest of the perpetrators behind the tragic killing of its late finance director, Mr. Taiwo Oyekanmi.
Mr. Oyekanmi, a former Director of Finance and Administration in Governor Dapo Abiodun’s office, was fatally attacked by gunmen at the Kuto Flyover Bridge in Abeokuta on Wednesday, November 29.
The 51-year-old, in the company of two others, was confronted by armed assailants while returning to the Governor’s Office with a substantial sum of money withdrawn from two major commercial banks in Abeokuta.

In a statement released on Friday, the state government emphasized its commitment to bringing the culprits to justice and announced the N50 million cash reward for anyone providing information aiding the security agencies in apprehending the killers.
