Osun state Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has directed security agencies fish out the killers of a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) supporter in Ilesha area of the state
The deceased identified as Wole, a welder, was reportedly shot dead by yet to be identified gunmen while in Ile-Ife area of the state.
The governor who frowned at the killing, urged security agencies to unmask the killers and bring them to justice.
His words: “the Government has condemned the killing of a government supporter at Ile-Ife on Thursday evening, after a political rally attended by the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Iyiola Omisore.
“Wole, a supporter of the ruling PDP in the state was gunned down at Ife South, even as ongoing reports hinted of mass violence across Ifeland against supporters of the state government.”
Governor Adeleke, while condemning the killing of Mr Wole and others in various incidents of political violence, directed security agencies to as a matter of urgency arrest the perpetrators of this and other killings in the state.
According to him: “I commiserate with the families of Wole and others who have been killed simply for being my supporters. The killings are spreading from Ilesa to Ila Orangun to Ikire and now Ile-Ife. This is highly inhuman and unacceptable. We have reached out to the leadership of the police service and other security organs to bring perpetrators to book.”
