A 45-year old man, Isaac Orisadeyi, who was said to be the younger brother of Commissioner for Special Duties in Oyo State, Mrs Funmilayo Orisadeyi, has been killed by gunmen.
Isaac was reportedly shot on Tuesday along NIHORT-Idi-Isin Road in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, on his way from office.
It was gathered that Isaac was on a commercial motorcycle on his way home from work around 8pm when the incident happened.
The armed robbers, who were said to be trying to snatch the motorcycle on which he rode, reportedly pulled the trigger when the rider resisted them.
A source said the commissioner confirmed that two hospitals rejected the victim before he eventually gave up the ghost.
The Oyo State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr Olugbenga Fadeyi, said the body of the victim had been deposited in a morgue, while the case was being investigated at the Eleyele Police Division.
