The Ogun state police command on Friday said they have a clue on the killing of businessman and a former governorship aspirant from Akwa Ibom State, Okon Iyanam.
Iyanam who was shot dead by unknown gunmen on Wednesday night in his hotel, Heritage Hotels, and Resorts, in Mowe, Ogun state was a graduate of the University of Calabar and a native of Urue-Offong/Oruko Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom state.
While responding to enquiries from newsmen on the progress of investigation into the incident, Abimbola Oyeyemi, the command’s spokesman said, “We have a clue that we are working on.”
I am “very sure” that the killers of the late businessman would be arrested soon.
“This type of crime has never taken place in Ogun state, without the police unraveling it. This one is not going to be an exception,” he said.
“For now, it will not be professionally wise for us to disclose how far we have gone. We are going to get the killers, and we will make it known to the members of the public.”
The late Iyanam contested the 2015 governorship election on the platform of the Accord party in Akwa Ibom state.
The state is in shock over the killing of the former director of Globacom Ltd.
