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.
