The daughter of former Iya Oloja of Ibadanland, late Alhaja Aminat Abiodun, was on Wednesday shot dead by gunmen at her house in Bashorun area of the city.
Fatimah was said to have been shot on the head by the gunmen that stormed her residence in Bashorun area, Bodija, Ibadan.
It was gathered that the gunmen left her house after ensuring that she was dead and did not take away anything from the house.
A family source, who preferred anonymity, disclosed this to journalists on Wednesday.
“Our sister, the daughter of the late Iya Oloja Abiodun, was assassinated in Basorun, Bodija area of Ibadan.
