DAILY POST gathered that the late groom-to-be hailed from Edunabon town, Ife North.

A close family source under anonymity revealed that Adebowale and his family were in Ede town earlier on Friday for an engagement ceremony with his pregnant wife.

“Shortly after the mini ceremony, Debo attended the swearing-in of the newly elected leaders of the commercial motorcyclists association in Edunabon, being a member himself.

“Shortly after the swearing, he joined others to escort their leaders who came from Ile-Ife to Moro junction. It was at the Moro junction that they heard gunshot from unknown persons,” the source said.

It was gathered that Adebowale and one other person were shot.

Both were immediately rushed to a nearby hospital, where Adebowale was confirmed dead on arrival.

The second victim is still receiving treatment.

Reports also indicate that Toromade’s family has opted not to pursue the case as his remains were committed to earth on Saturday morning.

When contacted, the spokesperson of the Osun State Police Command, Yemisi Opalola, confirmed the incident.

She, however, revealed that an investigation is ongoing to unravel the incident.
