Also reacting to the tragic news, the Director-General of LACO-FS in Akoko Southwest Local Government, Hon. David Ajobiewe, described the incident as a shocking tragedy.

“Excel’ had been a resourceful coordinator for the Aiyedatiwa campaign organisation in Ward 10 of Supare and was never known to be violent and never had any history of a local or domestic dispute.

“We urge the police authorities to step up investigations into his gruesome murder and bring the perpetrators of the dastardly act to book,” Ajobiewe pleaded.
