Ogun State governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has assured the family of the slain director of finance and administration in the Governor‘s Office, Mr Taiwo Oyekanmi, and people of the state that the perpetrators would be caught and brought to justice.

Abiodun said his administration would take full responsibility for the welfare and wellbeing of the family he left behind.

The governor stated this yesterday when he visited the home of the deceased former director.

Oyekanmi was killed on Wednesday within the Abeokuta metropolis while on an official assignment.

An emotional Governor Abiodun described the deceased as diligent, hardworking, honest, and God fearing.

He said the Governor‘s Office and the entire state workforce have been devastated by the killing, assuring that everything possible will be done to bring the perpetrators to justice.

“How could we imagine yesterday morning that we will be here this morning condoning this family. We are all heavily burdened, the pain not describable. He left us asking questions yesterday afternoon.

“Taiwo was very hardworking, very dedicated, diligent, honest, unassuming, a man who loved God, who served God, and was very humble. He was very conscientious.

“Let me assure you that we will do everything within my power to bring the perpetrators of this heinous crime to book. I will not leave any stone unturned until these criminals are arrested and dealt with; that much I also promise. I want to assure the members of his family, particularly his wife and children, that we will not leave you. We will take full responsibility for your welfare and for your wellbeing,” Abiodun said.

On behalf of the family of the deceased, his younger brother, Tayo Oyekanmi, thanked the governor for the visit even as he said, “Destiny had been shattered, dreams cut short, not only in the family, but the entire Ifonyintedo community in Ipokia local government area of the state.”
