The Speaker, Osun State House of Assembly, Mr. Timothy Owoeye has condemned the killing of Ebenezer Alaro a member of the All Progressives Congress APC in Ilesa.
The Speaker in a statement by his Media Aide, Mr Kunle Alabi called on the Nigeria Police Osun State Command to leave no stone unturned in unravelling the circumstances leading to the murder of Alaro.
He stated that such heinous crime if not quickly investigated and perpetrators docked, could aggravate an already tense situation that could lead to a breakdown of law and order in the State during the forthcoming elections.
Ebenezer Alaro was killed in front of his father’s house at Aromire Street in Ilesa.
In his words, “It is quite unfortunate that one of our devoted party members was murdered after our rally on Friday, politics shouldn’t be do-or-die affairs. The young man who was actively involved in the rally was shot in front of his father’s house.
The Police and other relevant security Agencies must be seen to be alive to their constitutional responsibility of protecting the lives of citizens. A quick investigation into the murder will serve as a deterrent to people who are hell-bent on distrusting the peace of our society.
The times we are in calls for serious actions by security Agencies so that the already tense environment doesn’t lead to a situation where citizens will resort to self-help and jungle justice.
It is my belief that the state Commissioner of Police will leave it up to his responsibility, not allowing the state to slide into anarchy by urgently seeing to it that culprits in the said murder are brought to book.
I want to appeal to our people to allow for peace with the hope that the Police will in no distant time resolve the case of Ebenezer Alaro’s killing.”
