The 10 gun men stormed the church in two vehicles at about 11.00a.m; while the service was going on and went straight to where the late chief was sitting in company of others and shot him on the head.
As an eye witness puts it
"I left Ijebu Igbo almost the same time as governor Amosun who came to pat his respects. Tension everywhere, shops closing early, intimidation, truchs of policemen seen all around"
Another witness narrated:
“We were in the church and it was exactly when the Pastor started his sermon at around 11 a.m. Those boys came into the church and went straight to where Ajagajigi sat and shot him on the head.
“We were shocked and everybody was jittery as the service abruptly came to the end. Some people, especially, the elderly people were still in shock as I am talking to you now. No one can say anything about his death. He is not a politician, if he is one,we would have been thinking that his political opponents carried out the act, but as it is now,the church has been deserted, except some few people who were with the Pastor” .A source told journalist
Akogun Tola Okuneye is survived by six wives and over 20 children
