Senator representing Ogun West Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Senator Solomon Adeola has lost one of his top aides.
The aide, Adeniyi Sanni was allegedly killed in the early hours of Saturday in Lagos.
This was confirmed in a statement by Media Adviser to the Senator, Chief Kayode Odunaro.
The statement indicated that Sanni was stopped at a checking point around Berger area of Lagos on his way to his home at Isheri by security agents.
‘He was asked to provide the documents of the car he was driving, which he did through his wife who sent all the documents to his phone WhatsApp. It was gathered that the wife called a while later and the late Mr. Sanni told him they are still checking the vehicle’s paper’, Odunaro wrote.
The apprehensive wife later called on Sanni’s associates to say she could no longer reach her husband on phone.
This led to the mobilization of a search party only for the wife to be called later by a ‘passersby’ through the next of kin phone number on her husband’s driver’s license that the body of her husband was dumped around Toyota Bus Stop in Oshodi with gunshot wound.
The statement added that Adeola who is involved in the ongoing ministerial screening at the Senate was shocked beyond words and devastated by the news of the sad incident.
