BREAKING: Senator Adeola reveals those behind aide’s death

The Senator representing Ogun West Senatorial District, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, has alleged that soldiers of the Nigeria Army, operating checkpoints around the Ikeja axis of Lagos State, are responsible for his aide’s death.

Adeola’s senior aide, Adeniyi Oluwatosin Sanni, was robbed and killed in the early hours of Saturday, August 5, 2023.

In a statement personally signed on Sunday, Senator Adeola said, his aide was held by men in military uniform who demanded the documents of the vehicle, and it was sent to him by his wife.

However, his aide was later found at the Toyota Bus Stop area of Oshodi, close to a military barrack, with his body ridden with bullets.

Senator Adeola called on the Chief of Army Staff, Major General Taoreed Lagbaja, to fish out killers of his aide for further investigation, prosecution and justice for the deceased as a pattern of killings and armed robbery has been established against soldiers mounting late-night checkpoints around Ikeja.

Senator Adeola added, that, to date, the aide’s black Toyota Camry, including his phones and other valuables, are yet to be recovered.

The statement, “Recalled that the bereaved Senator had earlier stated that information available to him on the circumstances indicates that Mr. Sanni was stopped at a checking point around Ojodu- Berger Area of Lagos on his way to his home at Isheri by “security agents” who asked him to provide the documents of the car he was driving, which he did through a call to 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 soldiers are still checking the vehicle’s paper. That was the last she heard from her husband and the body of Mr. Sanni, ridden with bullets was later discovered at Toyota Bus Stop area of Oshodi, close to a military barrack.

“In an update about the investigation of the murder and armed robbery by the Nigerian Police Force, through a statement issued in Abuja, Senator Adeola stated that he is of the firm believe, based on available facts at the disposal of the Police that his aide was killed by a syndicate of soldiers operating under the newly deployed Commander of 9 Brigade, Ikeja Cantonment of the Nigeria Army, Brigadier General Nsikan John Edet, through mounting of checkpoints and robbing of lone occupants of cars.
