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.
