In a statement today, Fashola described as most unfortunate, shocking
and heart rending, the fatal attack on his former Special Adviser on
Health, Mr Toyin Hamzat.
According to the Governor, it was a supreme irony of life that such a
man of peace who gave so much in the service of his nation and
community could come to such a violent end.
While condoling with his Ogun counterpart, the Government and people
at Ogun State as well as the immediate family of the deceased, Governor
Fashola described Hamzat’s death as a personal loss to him, Lagos State
and the entire South West family of the Action Congress of Nigeria.
The Governor prayed the Almighty Allah to grant the soul of the
departed Al-Janah Firdaus and imbue the widow and family members with
the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
Members of the Lagos State House of Assembly also today condemned the assassination of Hamzat in Sagamu.
Hamzat was also a former chairman of the Ikeja Local Government Area in Lagos state, Southwest Nigeria.
The lawmakers, who discussed the incident at the floor of the House, described the assassination as one death too many.
