He was found dead inside a pick-up truck around Agbogbo area of the state, last weekend, by a passer-by who later informed the police.

His corpse has been moved to the Akure Specialist Hospital morgue.

It was, however, not clear if his killers were robbers or assassins but Vanguard learnt that they did not remove anything from the car.

Ondo Police image maker, Wole Ogodo, confirmed the death of the car dealer but denied that he was shot by assassins. He said the deceased died as a result of a heart disease.

He told Vanguard that the family of the deceased confirmed that he had been battling with the problem of heart enlargement for a while.
