According to his daughter, Oyin she said 

We finished our evening prayer at 10.05pm, my dad drove into the compound.
“Then I overheard an argument between the guard and some strange people.
“I looked out from the window and I saw that another black car had entered our compound.

Our guard questioned the occupants but they hit him and ordered him to lie down.
“The men in the black car came out before my dad alighted from his car and one of them shot into the air. Two of them went to his car; the others came inside. “Grandma started begging those who came inside. Suddenly, we heard gunshots outside.
“The assailants left at 10:20 pm and took dad’s car away. I overheard dad begging them that they should not take him away. When they left, we thought they had taken him away and we started praying for his safety without knowing that he had been killed. When the police came, they saw his body in the flower bed.”

The entire University community as express their sympathy saying may God give the family the fortitude to bear the loss.
