How Cultist Killed Prominent Businessman During Church Service In Ijebu

The entire Íj??bú Land was brought under a state of trepidation following the assassination of a foremost industrialist, Chief Tola Okuneye, popularly known as Tola Furniture.

eyewitnesses said, the sad event occurred at about 11 a.m during Sunday service at St. John’s Anglican Church, Oke-Sopin, Íj??bú Igbo, the council seat of Íj??bú North Local Government Area in Ogun State. The Late Okuneye was said to be giving the Sunday sermon when the assassins (5guys) stormed the church, pointed at him and swiftly carried out the execution. Some of the eyewitnesses said the assassination might not be unconnected with the recent killing of a notorious cult leader popularly known as Ja Rule. Ja Rule, one of the sources claimed, was allegedly killed four weeks ago on the orders of Chief Okuneye who said he was constituting a security threat to residents of the town.

Okuneye was the pillar in charge of the security apparatus of Ijebu Igbo. He was the coordinator of the Ogun State Vigilance Services in Ijebu North local government and he was largely responsible for the incessant bank robbery that has been abated over the past 2 years in this town.”
The famous industrialist was said to be 65 years old.
