While vowing that the perpetrators of the evil act would be brought to book, Ajayi disclosed that Gov. Oluwarotimi Akeredolu had cut short his trip outside the state to return home.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the 58-year-old victim was heading to Ore Junction from Akure when she and others were attacked.

NAN also reports that the deceased was the second child of the 94-year-old Fasoranti who also lost a daughter some years ago.
