Mimiko’s CSO killed by armed robbers
THE Chief Security Officer (CSO) of the convoy of Ondo state governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State, Idowu Oyewole was, yesterday, murdered by suspected armed robbers.
The late Idowu was a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) attached to the convoy of the governor.
Vanguard gathered that some dare-devil armed robbers invaded the Sango Community, along Akure/Ado Ekiti road, Akure where he was reportedly gunned down on Wednesday night.
He was said to be having his dinner after returning from work when one of his neighbours informed him that a three-man armed robbery gang were in the vicinity.
Narrating the ugly incident leading to his death, his son, Dare told newsmen that “a neighbour’s son came to our house around 7.30 pm when my father was eating and told him that armed robbers had entered their house.”
