One of the children of Alhaji Fatai Yusuf popularly known as Oko Oloyun says his father was murdered hours before he received
a call that his workers have burnt some documents at his Igando office in Lagos, Punch reports.

Oko Oloyun’s son said his late
father had earlier uncovered fraud in his company after some investors complained about his company’s management over their investment.
“The investors know him well and trust he would never steal their money. He was open and there were times he would call us (his
children) and tell us what was going on. He engaged an auditor in December 2019 who discovered that there was a fraud.
