Osun APC Condemns Ilobu Teenager Killing, Describes It As Wicked, Barbaric

APC

… Requests Urgent Police Investigation

The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned the gruesome killing of a fourteen-year-old boy, Ezekiel Olapade, in Ilobu, in the Irepodun Local Government Council Area of the state, recently, describing it as wicked, inconsiderate and barbaric.

It was the display of the highest level of an act of wickedness for anyone to have resulted to cutting short the life of such a promising teenager for any reason.

We are strongly calling on the state police command to investigate the callous killing of the teenager with a view to bringing to justice whoever might be directly or remotely connected with the exra-judicial killing of the teenager in Ilobu.

We are commiserating with the parents and the entire Ilobu community over the needless and wicked killing of their son and praying fervently to God to grant them the fortitude to bear the irreparable sudden death of their son.

We are also using this platform to appeal and warn the disgruntled elements in the society who might be using political cover to perpetrate violence on the innocent members of the public to henceforth desist from doing so as such is neither the hallmark of our political party nor that of our governorship candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji(AMBO), whose passion for peaceful approach to issues is inexhaustible.

We want to state without mincing words that our governorship candidate, Asiwaju Oyebamiji, does not believe in violence and he has never and will never sponsor violence against anyone or group of persons as it is his belief that the political ambition of any individual is not worth the blood of any person.

We are enjoining the state Governor Ademola Adeleke to effectively act his constitutional duty of the protection of the lives and property of the innocent people of the state instead of needlessly politicising such aspect of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended.

We commend the peaceful posture of the ever-loyal and dedicated members and supporters of our party during this crucial time in the political history of the state and urge them not to waiver even in the face of visible provocation in the overall interest of corporate peace in our dear state.
