Gunmen suspected to be members of a yet to be ascertained secret cult group Friday night, shot dead, a disabled man while riding on a motorcycle in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital.
The victim, identified as Hon. Mutiu Akinbami a.k.a. Igor was killed in-between the popular Brewery bus stop and Olomoore Junction around 6: 13p.m. by his assailants who drove on a tinted Toyota Hilux.
It was gathered that the victim, who was riding on the motorbike with his daughter, was one of the immediate past Councilors in the Abeokuta North Local Government Area of the State.
