Gunmen, suspected to be armed robbers, have killed Gabriel Kola Abiodun, the bursar of the Akure Diocese of the Anglican Communion in Ondo State at the office complex of the church located at Alagbaka area of the state capital.
Abiodun was killed early on Thursday, April 4, 2019 shortly after he returned from a bank to withdraw money meant for the church, according to an eyewitness who spoke to Sahara Reporters.
"The man had just returned from one of the new generation banks where he had gone to withdraw some funds, which we learnt was probably meant for retirees. The money was about N500,000. He was shot in the thigh.
"I think the armed robbers attacked him, collected the money, before they escaped from the premises. By the time we came out of the building, there were blood stains everywhere on the floor. It's a very sad thing," the eyewitness said.
The Public Relations Officer of Ondo State Police Command, Femi Joseph, has confirmed the incident and disclosed that investigation has commenced.
"We have swung into action as a command and as I speak with you now, our men embarked on a manhunt to ensure that the perpetrators of such a wicked act are brought to justice," he told Channels Television.
He also disclosed that the gunmen escaped with an undisclosed amount of money after killing the victim.
