Minister for Solid Minerals,Dr Dele Alake has called on law enforcement agents to ensure that Killers and kidnappers of yei Monarchs and children in Emure-Ekiti must face Justice.
In a statement he issued yesterday,the Minister described the killings of the two Monarchs by unknown men as sad
and a challenge on the insecurity which the Presidencmt Tinubus administration is working hard to nib in the bud.
It will be recalled that two Monarchs in the state,Onimojo of Imojo -Ekiti,Oba Olatunde Samuel Olusola and Elesun of Esun Ekiti,Oba David Babatunde Ogunsola were killled yesterday while returning from a security meeting.
Full statement below:
I received with deep sadness the report of yesterday’s killing of two traditional rulers in Ekiti State, the Onimojo of Imojo- Ekiti, Oba Olatunde Samuel Olusola and the Elesun of Esun-Ekiti, Oba David Babatunde Ogunsola.
These two traditional rulers, according to media reports, were gruesomely murdered by their assailants while returning from a security meeting.
The tragic incident, again, speaks to the challenges of insecurity in our country, which the President Tinubu-led administration is working very hard to surmount.
On behalf of my family, I send our condolences to Governor Abiodun Oyebanji; the government and people of Ekiti State, especially the families and subjects of our departed kings.
While i strongly condemn this unfortunate incident, i urge the security agencies to fish out the assailants and ensure they face the full wrath of the law until justice is served.
In the same vein, i call on the Police high command and the Department of State Security to rescue the primary school pupils from Emure-Ekiti that were kidnapped on their way from school at Eporo-Ekiti.
There is no doubt that this is a very distressing moment for the people of Ekiti State and Nigerians in general, but the Federal Government under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu will continue to work very hard to improve security situation in our country.
