Gunmen Kill Late Iyalode Of Ibadan’s Daughter
Suspected gunmen reportedly invaded the residence of the daughter of the late Iyalode of Ibadan, Fatima, and shot her dead.
It was gathered that the hoodlums stormed the home early Wednesday and shot the deceased in the head.
The incident reportedly caused panic in the area as residents said the reason for killing her was not known.
They also ruled out an armed robbery attack, saying the hoodlums just shot her dead and fled.
The slain Fatimah was said to be the only surviving daughter of the late Iyalode of Ibadanland, Alhaja Aminat Abiodun.
A family source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told our correspondent that she just got the news of the demise of her cousin.
The source said she learnt that the killing was unprovoked while expressing shock at the incident.
She said, “I just heard that not too long ago. It is a huge loss to our family.
“She had great influence because she used everything she had to the service of humanity. It is a big loss to the family. I don’t have the details for now.”
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Adewale Osifeso, refused to respond to text messages and chats sent to him by Punch Newspapers.
He also did not pick calls they put across to him on the matter.
