Armed robbery results in death of retired permanent secretary in Ibadan
Ibadan, the state capital, is the scene of the suspected armed robbery death of Ms. Olaitan Gbenle, a 69-year-old former permanent secretary with the Oyo State Government.
All Saints College Road, Idi Ishin, near NIHORT in Ibadan is where the former PS lived. According to information obtained by OBASANJO NEWS24 on Thursday, the attackers killed her there.
Following her attackers’ tying of her hands and legs, our correspondent was informed that the deceased was strangled.
Her personal possessions, including two cars, cell phones, and ATM cards, were taken by the culprits.
The assassins arrived at the dead woman’s home one day after she notified the police that several thugs who used to smoke marijuana close to her home were threatening her life, a source told OBASANJO NEWS24.
Chief Bisi Adesola, Chairman of the Association of Retired Heads of Service and Permanent Secretaries of Oyo and Osun States (AREHSPSOOS), verified the deceased’s killing in a statement.
The dead, according to him, was an obedient association member.
