A senior aide of Senator Solomon Adeola (APC, Ogun West), the chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriation, Mr. Adeniyi Sanni, was killed this morning in Lagos circumstances yet to be unravelled.

According to the information available to the bereaved Senator in Abuja, Mr. Sanni was stopped at a checkpoint around Berger Area of Lagos on his way to his home at Isheri by security agents.

The security officials reportedly asked him for his car’s documents and he had to call his wife to send it through to him via his phone’s WhatsApp.

It was gathered that the wife called a while later and the late Mr. Sanni told him they were still checking the vehicle’s papers.

His apprehensive wife later called on Mr. Sanni’s associates to say he could no longer reach her husband on phone necessitating the mobilization of a search party. She was later called by passersby through the Next of Kin phone number on her husband’s driver’s licence that the body of Mr. Sanni was dumped around Toyota Bus Stop in Oshodi with gunshot wound.

Senator Adeola who is involved in the ongoing ministerial screening at the Senate is shocked beyond words and devastated by the news of this sad incident, as Mr. Sanni was his close aide for over two decades.

The Nigeria Police Force is investigating the killing.
