The Ogun State Government has made it clear that it will pursue justice after the tragic shooting incident that led to the death of Seyi Afolabi, a contract staff member, during a demolition enforcement exercise on the Siun–Abeokuta Expressway. The Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Olatunji Odunlami, affirmed this commitment during a meeting with Afolabi's family. Mr. Odunlami emphasized that the governor's administration would not turn its back on those who sacrifice their lives while serving the public in their official capacities, and he asserted that those involved in the shooting would be held accountable.

In a move towards transparency and support for the grieving family, Odunlami indicated that the government has identified individuals allegedly involved in the incident. The Ogun State Government is actively engaged in ensuring that a thorough investigation takes place and has vowed that the perpetrators will face justice. This pledge is significant in a society that often grapples with accountability, especially regarding actions taken by agents of the state while enforcing laws and regulations.

Furthermore, the government has promised to release Afolabi's body to his family upon the completion of a post-mortem examination. This gesture underscores the state’s recognition of the family's loss and its commitment to supporting them during this difficult time. The incident serves as a reminder of the risks faced by workers in urban planning and development, and the government's response may influence public trust in its dedication to safety and justice for its employees.
