Rotimi Akeredolu, governor of
Ondo state, has described the killing of Funke Olakunrin, daughter of Reuben
Fasoranti, Afenifere leader, as unacceptable.
Olakunrin was shot dead at Ore in
Ondo state on Friday. She was said to be heading to Lagos from Akure, capital
of Ondo.
Afenifere has blamed the incident
on herdsmen, citing witnesses.
In a statement issued on his
behalf by Donald Ojogo, Ondo commissioner for information, the governor said
the incident has again heightened the level of fear that has pervaded the
country.
“This sad development once again,
heightens the level of fear that has pervaded our nation, even as it represents
a despicable commentary in all ramifications,” he said.
“To say the least, it represents
an unenviable turning point, the depth of everything that is evil. On behalf of
the state executive council, the governor symphatises with our foremost leader
and indeed the people of the state over this dastardly act .
“However, the governor wishes to
appeal to all and sundry to remain calm and allow the Police to unravel the
perpetrators of this murder. Already, the commissioner of police has been
directed to comb all forests of Ondo state to bring to book, these bloodthirsty
murderers. There is no hiding place for such in Ondo state.”
