A Nigerian man who just returned to the country after living in the United States for 45 years has reportedly been murdered in his country home in the Ikorodu area of Lagos.

Mutiu Agbosasa, a Chartered Accountant, was said to have returned to Nigeria about three months ago after four and half decades living and working in the US.

A Facebook user Babatunde Najeemdeen Ayodeji shared story of Agbosasa’s murder on social media on Tuesday.

Babatunde said sources close to the family informed him that the killers are suspected to be hired assassins and not armed robbers.

He wrote:

“Late Mutiu Agbosasa who was murdered in Ikorodu was a chartered accountant in New York for many years before returning to Nigeria early 2019…. someone close to his son said, “ he is not sure if it is up to three months, that he returned to Nigeria.”

“The guy who narrated the gruesome killing to me, even said, “the killing was not that of armed robbery- he said with the way the murder was carried out, it was a case of kill him finally without trace.” Hired assassin.

“The man was said to have been coming from the prestigious “ Island Club,” in Lagos, where he normally socialise with his members.

“And on getting to his house, which is situated in a remote and secluded part of Ikorodu, the gateman opened the gate for his car to drive in. Immediately he drove in, there was these guys who either trailing him or being laying ambush for him, rushed in and started shooting and after shooting the man, they now started to butcher him like the way we do meat. That was not enough, they put all the mutilated body parts in the car, remove all his phones, and burn everything, without taking any of the phones away.

“The gateman has to call the wife who was in her church where she was observing the “night vigil,” not to come home, that the husband had been murdered.

“Mr Mutiu Agbosas’s character

“The narrator said, “throughout the 45 years the man spent in New York, he had no single criminal record,” he was said to be a very upright and trustworthy accountant of great repute amongst his peers. He was even said to belongs to those kind of people who if you mistakenly or wrongly sent anything to their house, they will take it straight to the police station. That’s how honest the man was in NY.

“He’s got four children, who are all residing in New York, only he and the wife returned to the palatial house in Ikorodu.

“He doesn’t do dealings or getting involved in any shady deals. The guy said, “ late Agbosasa was his father’s close friend and he can vouch for him, because he knows the family like knowing his palm.

“Why anyone will like to murder a person of good character like this after spending 45 years in USA ?? without any criminal record, without moving with bad companies is still a surprise and I can’t just figure out, why?

“May Mr Mutiu Agbosasa’s soul rest in peace – May Allah forgive him all his sins

“Wrote this for we in diaspora to learn one or two things from this gruesome killing of an innocent man.”
