The victim was identified as Mutiu Akinbami a.k.a. Igor. He was killed between the popular Brewery Bus Srop and Olomoore Junction at 6:13p.m. The killers were in a tinted Toyota Hilux.

It was gathered that the victim, who was riding on the motorbike with his daughter, was one of the immediate past councillors in Abeokuta North Local Government Area of the state.

The deceased, clad in a black polo and a jean trouser, walked with the help of an iron rod after his left leg was amputated.

Eyewitnesses, including members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, said Akinbami’s assailants trailed him from his house located around the Olomoore Federal Housing Estate, and immediately made a detour at the Brewery after their mission was accomplished.

News of Akinbami’s death elicited discussions among several people in the Brewery and Olomore Junction.
