BUSINESSMAN KILLED BY ROBBERS INSIDE A CHURCH.

Ten well armed robbers yesterday stormed St. John Anglican Church,
Oke Sopein in Ijebu Igbo, Ijebu North Local
Government Area and shot dead a 70 year old
businessman, Otunba Tola Okuneye, A.K.A. Ajagajigi.
In what was an apparent assassination attempt, the
gunmen arrived in two vehicles and stormed the
church premises, shooting the man in the head.

An eyewitness recounted, “When the Pastor started
his sermon around 11am, about 10 boys came in and
went straight to where Ajagajigi sat and shot him on
the head.
“We were shocked and everybody was jittery as the
service ended abruptly. Some people, especially, the
elderly people, are still in shock as I am talking to you
now.
“No one can say anything about his death. He is not
a politician. If he were one, we would have thought
that his political opponents carried out the act. The
church has been deserted, except some few people
who were with the Pastor.”
Another resident wit knowledge of Ajagajigi’s
business dealings states that he has several court
cases in which the opposing side may benefit from
his assassination.
The septuagenarian is survived by 6 wives and 20
children.
Governor Ibikunle Amosun has stated that his
government would do its best to fish out the killers.
The governor said: “The heinous manner with which
the life of a good citizen, who had invested in
security, was terminated is uncalled for.
“I don’t know why men of the underworld will
terminate the life of a man who will not hurt a fly.
They even went as far as carrying out the dastardly
act in the sacred house of God.”
