The spokesperson for the lawmaker, Kayode Odunaro, issued a statement confirming that Sanni’s lifeless body, bearing gunshot wounds, was discovered dumped at Toyota Bus Stop in the Oshodi area of Lagos.

According to the statement, Sanni had made a distressing call to his wife, requesting his vehicle papers via WhatsApp. He had been stopped by security operatives at a checkpoint in the Berger area, and his wife sent the necessary documents to his phone. However, as hours passed without any further contact, his wife raised the alarm, leading to a search party being mobilized.
