The victim’s younger brother, Segun, who confirmed the killing of Osundiya, called on the security agents to fish out the perpetrators of the dastardly act.

The spokesman of the Kwara State Police Command, Ajayi Okasanmi, said the police was on the trail of the killers.

“We can’t say for now whether the killing was cultist or business related, but an AK 47 ammunition was recovered from the scene and we are working to establish those behind it. But no arrest has been made for now,” Okasanmi said.
