Unknown gunmen on Friday morning shot and killed Olayemi, wife of former Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, Mr Peter Odetomi in Ibadan, Oyo State capital.
Olayemi, whose husband was a key member of late governor Abiola Ajimobi’s administration, killed in her Akobo home in the ancient city of Ibadan.
Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr Adewale Osifeso, said the deceased was killed in her home.
“The deceased, Olayemi Odetomi, aged 66yrs, died on the spot after being shot during a robbery incident which occurred during the early hours of Friday 25th June 2021 in her home. Updates on Investigations would be provided in due course,” Osifeso said.
Odetomi was the deputy governorship candidate to Ajimobi in the 2007 election on the platform of the defunct All Nigeria People’s Party (ANPP).
Prior to that, he was the chairman of Ogbomoso South Local Government.
Odetomi could not, however, be reached for comments as at press time.
