The statement reads in part: “Information available to the bereaved Senator in Abuja indicates that Mr Sanni was stopped at a checking point around Berger Area of Lagos on his way to his home at Isheri by security agents.
“He was asked to provide the documents of the car he was driving, which he did through his wife who sent all the documents to his phone WhatsApp
“It was gathered that the wife called a while later and the late Mr Sanni told her they were still checking the vehicle’s paper.
“His apprehensive wife later called on Mr Sanni’s associates to say she could no longer reach her husband on phone, necessitating the mobilisation of a search party.
“She was later called by passersby through the Next of Kin phone number on her husband’s driver’s licence that the body of Mr Sanni was dumped around Toyota Bus Stop in Oshodi with gunshot wound.
“Senator Adeola, who is involved in the ongoing ministerial screening at the Senate, is shocked beyond words and devastated by the news of this sad incident, as Mr Sanni was his close aide for over two decades.
