“Governor Akeredolu, the chief mourner, who coincidentally hails from Owo town; and has been in the fore front of waging against banditry, herdsmen attack, restructuring, resource control, power rotation, restriction on open grazing and state police, must be heavy disturbed by this evil killings.
“The Governor Akeredolu success story on regional security outfit, Amotekun, can not be overemphasised, as he recorded tremedious success in crime reduction especially in Ondo State.
“God in His infinite mercy shall crowd Your Excellency effort on providing security for the people, a resounding victory over banditry, kidnapping, terrorism and senseless killings of this nature,” Dr. Jimoh Ibrahim stated.
