Ogun places N50m bounty on killers of Finance Director

An N50m reward will be offered to anybody who will provide information leading to the arrest of the killers of Mr. Taiwo Oyekanmi, the former Director of Finance and Administration attached to Governor Dapo Abiodun’s office, Oke-Mosan Abeokuta.

The reward was announced by the Ogun State government.

The late Oyekanmi was killed by some unknown gunmen at the Kuto Flyover Bridge, Abeokuta on November 29.

The 51-year-old and two others were accosted by the gun-wielding hoodlums while returning to the Governor’s Office with money said to have been withdrawn from two major commercial banks within the Abeokuta metropolis, The Punch reports.

The gunmen killed the Ifonyintedo-born chartered accountant and made away with the huge cash.

Governor Dapo Abiodun, who said that the killing of the senior civil servant left his cabinet devastated and traumatised, promised not to leave any stone unturned until the killers are brought to justice.

The state government, in a statement on Friday, has however said that a cash reward of N50m awaits whoever provides information that can help the security agents to unravel killers.

The statement partly reads “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 30th November, 2023 in Abeokuta.
