President Bola Tinubu has expressed grief on 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 were shot dead by gunmen on Monday.
Tinubu, in a statement on Tuesday by his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, condemned “this mindless and brutal bloodletting, and pledges that the perpetrators will not escape justice.”
The President also condoled the families and subjects of the traditional rulers, Governor Biodun Oyebanji, and the people of Ekiti State on this deeply agonizing development.
In the same vein, the President has directed the immediate rescue of pupils and teachers kidnapped around 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 added.
