APC Chieftain assassinated in Oluwarotimi Akeredolu Aketi’s town, Owo
Afolabi Olaposi, a chieftain of All
Progressives Congress, APC, in
Owo, Ondo State, was killed by
unknown gunmen on Thursday
night in Owo, the party said.
The party said in a statement
issued by its Publicity Secretary,
Abayomi Adesanya, on Friday in
Akure that Mr. Olaposi was shot
dead on his way home after
attending a meeting of the party
in preparation for the
governorship election.
“Olaposi, who is one of the
leaders of our party in Igboroko
Ward 1, Owo, was also an ardent
supporter of our Governorship
Candidate, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu
(SAN).
“He was a perfect gentleman who
was committed to the
development of the party in Owo
and Ondo State in general.
“The assailant also went to the
house of Chief Jamiu Ekungba, an
APC aspirant in the Sept. 3
Primary, and vandalised seven
vehicles in his compound.
“Ekungba was not to at home
during the attack.
“We believe those calling for the
postponement of the election and
threatening a repeat of 1983
violence were behind these
dastardly acts.
“We call on security agents in the
state to fish out those behind
these acts and ensure the
protection of our people before,
during and after the election,’’
Mr. Adesanya said.
