Police Arrest Five Over Assassination of Toyin Hamzat



Five men were on Sunday night arrested by the police in Ogun State in connection with the assassination of Mr Toyin Hamzat, a former chairman of Ikeja Local Government.

It was learnt that he had just dropped a female companion in front of her house around 9pm when the gunmen ambushed his car and shot him dead.

His female companion said the vehicle the assailants used was likely to belong to her estranged husband. She also said there was a time the husband visited her and met Hamzat with her.

The suspects are currently being held at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Eleweran, Abeokuta. The woman's husband is one of the suspects arrested.
