Oyekanmi, 51, was killed on Wednesday, November 29, by gunmen at the Kuto Flyover Bridge, Abeokuta.

The deceased, alongside two others, were returning to the Governor’s Office with money said to have been withdrawn from two major commercial banks in Abeokuta when they were attacked.

The statement partly reads: “Ogun State Government has announced a reward of N50m for anyone with information that could lead to the arrest of the killers of the state’s Director of Finance and Administration, Mr. Taiwo Oyekanmi, on 30th November, 2023 in Abeokuta.
