Comrade Olalekan Oyeyemi, popularly known as Emir Ajagungbade, and a known associate of Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, has reportedly been shot dead in Ile-Ife.
Oyeyemi was reportedly killed on Sunday at Mayfair Garage, Ile-Ife, amid a dispute allegedly linked to control of a motor park.
He was said to have been involved in transport and park management activities in the state and was a member of the Accord Party.
Reports linked the incident to a confrontation involving other party members, including Nurudeen Alowonle and the chairman of Ife Mini-Bus, popularly known as Sibi.
