President Bola Tinubu has promised that the killers of two Ekiti monarchs, the Onimojo of Imojo-Ekiti, Oba Olatunde Samuel Olusola, and the Elesun of Esun-Ekiti, Oba David Babatunde Ogunsola, will not escape justice.
Tinubu made the pledge in a Tuesday statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale.
He described Monday’s killing of the monarchs as mindless and brutal bloodletting.
The statement read, “It is with grief that President Bola Tinubu receives the news of the 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.
“President Tinubu condemns this mindless and brutal bloodletting and pledges that the perpetrators will not escape justice.
“The President condoles with the families and subjects of the traditional rulers, Governor Biodun Oyebanji, and the people of Ekiti State on this deeply agonizing development.”
Similarly, the president directed the immediate rescue of pupils and teachers kidnapped around the Eporo-Ekiti area of the state.
“As security of life and property is the primary responsibility of government, President Tinubu assures Nigerians that the nation’s security architecture is being robustly fortified for better and expected outcomes,” the statement further read.
