Gunmen suspected to be assassins on Tuesday
night stormed the residence of a lecturer at the
Department of Agricultural Economics of the
Obafemi Awolowo University, Dr. Deji Adejobi.
Our correspondent gathered that Adejobi was shot
by his assailants who invaded his residence close to
the Tollgate area of Ile Ife.
Residents of the area said the gunmen, who stormed
the residence around 10pm, shot into the air to scare
away residents before firing their target.
The deceased was said to be the older brother of the
Police Public Relations Officer of the Ogun State
Police Command, Mr. Muyiwa Adejobi.
One of the children of the late don, Oyin, narrated
amidst tears how the gunmen killed her father and
threw the family into a mournful mood.
She said, “We finished our evening prayer at
10:05pm when dad drove into the compound. Then I overheard an argument between the gateman and
some people. I quickly looked from the window and I saw another black car that entered our compound
together with dad’s car.
“Our gateman was quizzing the occupants of the
other car but they hit him and ordered him to lie
down.
“The men in the black car stepped out of their car
before dad could alight from his and one of them
shot into the air. Two of them moved into dad’s car
while others came inside the house.”
Oyin added that their grandma begged the gunmen,
who went inside the house, but they heard gunshot
from outside twice.
She said further that the gunmen took away the
lecture’s car around 10:20pm and she heard her late
dad begging them not to whisk him away.
“We thought they took him away and we were praying
for his safety without knowing that he had been
killed,” she said.
According to her, the police team found Adejobi’s
body where it was.
Efforts to know if the police were aware of the case
were unsuccessful as the Police Public Relations
Officer in Osun State, Mrs. Folasade Odoro, dropped
the call while our correspondent was asking him
about the case.
But the Public Relations Officer of the OAU, Mr.
Abiodun Olanrewaju, who confirmed the incident,
said the university community was shocked to hear
the news of the killing of the don.
He said, “We were shocked to hear that he was killed.
We just pray God will give the family the fortitude to
bear the loss. It is terrible.”
