He was said to have been shot dead at about 4:30p.m at Igboora, the headquarters of Ibarapa Central Local Government Area of Oyo State in his car n his way to Iseyin.
The Oyo State Police Command has confirmed the murder of Yusuf, who is also the founder of De-Fayus International, and says it has launched a manhunt for his killers.
Traditional herbal products from his companies include Yoyo Bitters and Fijk Flusher.
As gathered, the deceased departed Lagos for Iseyin on Oke-Ogun axis of Oyo State and he was used to passing through Abeokuta, Igboora, Eruwa, Maya, and Ado-Awaye to Iseyin.
