In a statement issued by the State Information Director of the organisation, Mr. Kayode Fasua, the late Excel was a resourceful coordinator, campaigning for the election of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa until he was gruesomely murdered, as he was shot in his Supare home on April 27.
Fasua quoted the LACO-FSIC Director of Information and Online News for Akoko Southwest, Mr. Nurudeen Kazeem, as stating that the incident came as a rude shock to members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the local council,working for the election of the governor, come November, this year.
Reacting, the Akoko Southwest Local Government Director-General for the LACO-FSIC, Hon. David Ajobiewe, also described the incident as a rude shock.
“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 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.
