Some unidentified armed men have killed Alaba Excel Abbey, one of the Campaign Coordinator of Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
Abbey was a ward coordinator for the Lucky Aiyedatiwa Campaign Organisation Foot-Soldiers (LACO-SF) before he was killed at home in Supare Akoko, Akoko South West LGA.
He was the returning officer for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ward 10 in the just concluded primary of the ruling party.
Speaking to pressmen, a younger brother of the deceased, Samuel Abbey confirmed the sad incident, adding that he was shot right in front of his home.
In a swift reaction, the Lucky Aiyedatiwa Campaign Organisation Foot-Soldiers (LACO-SF) condemned the gruesome murder of Abbey.
LACO-SF urged the security agencies, most especially the police to protect its members from such brutal attacks by attackers.
Speaking on behalf of the campaign organisation, Kayode Fasua said the late Abbey was actively involved in the campaign activities of Aiyedatiwa until his death.
The Director-General of LACO-FS in Akoko Southwest Local Government, David Ajobiewe, described the killing of Abbey as a big 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,” he said.
Ondo State Police Public Relations (PPRO), Funmilayo Odunlami-Omisanya said the state command had launched an investigation into the brutal killings.
