He was allegedly killed on Saturday while on duty in Birnin Gwari, Kaduna state. 

The flying officer was said to be the best graduating officer among those at the NAF Special Forces Course held shortly in Bauchi.

Kano based lawyer, Bulawa Bukarti shared the sad news on his twitter handle. 

"Flying Officer, Mohammed Auwal, one of the latest gallant men we sadly lost to terrorist. He's killed yesterday (5, Sep.) on duty at Birnin Gwari. He's the best graduating office at NAF Special Forces Course that held recently in Bauchi.

We have lost too many brave men and promising men to the insecurities raging in our Country. Government officials most face this head-on.  They must channel the  huge sums wasted on their extravagant lifestyle to this problems and ensure every kobo is spent transparently."

Jegede was attacked with his convoy in the Oba Akoko town palace  on Wednesday by alleged APC thugs in convoy of Governor of Ondo State. 

 The said thugs armed themselves with guns and fired at him and his surporters while at the palace in Skokie. 

Eyitayo described the actions of the Armed thugs as "an assassination attempt."

Speaking with journalist at his office after the unfortunate incidence, Sahara repoters quoted him saying that he, and his surporters were at the palace for a visit.

 Suddenly, an attack on my convoy,  an assassination attempt came."

We heard gun shots outside the Palace which is close to the main road. 

There were gun shots fired at all of us within the vicinity of the palace by hard thugs who were in the APC campaign vehicle with Governor Rotimi Akerelodu leading the entourage. 

In the process, 15 vehicles in our convoy were destroyed, while several people were injured during the attack. 

He explained that he has decided to halt this campaign billed to hold at Ayegunle at Oba Akoko palace due to the attack in order to avoid bloodshed.

Jegede said that the PDP were in Oba Akoko town after the party's approval by the State's Commissioner of Police and Director of the State Service, DSS.  

He added that it was a clear case of attempt to destroy human lives. We never believe we would come so low to this in Ondo State, and, I personally haven't seen this type of desperation in my life. 

If anything happens to me or any of our people in the state, I call on the public to know who to hold responsible for it. 

But again we would defend ourselves; it is not only important but it is imperative that we defend ourselves in the process. 

He therefore called on the Inspector General of Police to investigate the attack on his convoy and bring the perpetrators to book.
