Unknown gunmen have shot dead a popular traditional chief in Ogun state, Adeyinka Folarin, the Baasegun of the Itunsokun village in the state.
He was shot at his Sagamu residence around 8:00 p.m. on Monday, January 9, by the gunmen suspected to be cultists.
The tragic incident was confirmed by two traditional rulers seeking acknowledgment.
One of the traditional rulers said: “The information is correct but I don’t have much information about the incident. We heard that the chief who is a popular traditional chief and member of the Akarigbo in-council was killed last night. He is popularly called Baasegun, we however can’t say these are the people who did these terrible acts. We leave the police and other security agencies to do their job.”
According to a Sagamu local government employee who preferred anonymity, the incident also forced the LG employees to quickly end their workday to save their lives.
The source said: “Already, tension is very high in the town as I speak to you, workers are already moving out of the local government secretariat to avoid being caught in any form of crisis. Many are saying the man was killed by cultists but no one could really confirm this, the information is still scanty now.”
However, the spokeswoman for the Ogun state Police Command, SP Omolola, is yet to confirm the incident.
