AIDES TO SENATOR ADEOLA KILLED IN LAGOS

Adeniyi Sanni, a senator Solomon Adeola’s aide, was reportedly slain yesterday in Lagos under questionable circumstances.

The senator who made this disclosure said, “Information available to the bereaved senator in Abuja indicates that Mr. Sanni was stopped at a check point around Berger Area of Lagos on his way to his home at Isheri by security agents.” Chief Kayode Odunaro, the senator’s communications assistant, released the following statement on his behalf.

When asked to give the paperwork for the vehicle he was driving, he did so through his wife, who texted all of the paperwork to his phone. WhatsApp

The late Mr. Sanni reportedly informed the wife he was still examining the vehicle’s papers when she contacted him a short time later. Later, his worried wife called Mr. Sanni’s friends to report that she was unable to reach her husband on the phone and that a search party was therefore necessary.

“She was then informed by onlookers via the Next of Kin phone number listed on her husband’s driver’s license that Mr. Sanni’s gunshot-wounded body had been dumped near the Toyota Bus Stop in Oshodi.

“Senator Adeola, who is taking part in the Senate’s continuing ministerial screening process, is grieved and incomparably startled by the news of this tragic tragedy. Mr. Sanni has been a close adviser to him for more than 20 years. The killing is being looked into by the Nigerian Police Force.

At the time this report was being written, efforts were being made to contact the Lagos State Police Command through its spokesman, Benjamin Hundeyin, in order to confirm the terrible incident.
