Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara has condemned the killing of Olukoro of Koro in Ekiti Local Government of Kwara, Oba Gen Segun Aremu (rtd).

The monarch was reportedly shot dead in his palace on Thursday night by some unknown gunmen, who also whisked away his wife and two others.

The Governor, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary Rafiu Ajakaye, condemned the development, which he said was reckless, shocking, and abominable.

He charged the security agencies not to spare any resources to track down the perpetrators, free the spouse and others taken away, and bring them to book.

“We will certainly get the perpetrators and ensure that this is their last crime against humanity.

“My profound condolences go to the people of Koro. Our hearts are broken, and we stand by them at this time and always,” the Governor said.
