Five days after two men were kidnapped along Igede–Aramoko Ekiti road, gunmen have killed a cleric, Mr Kayode Ogunleye, dumping his body in a forest.
The lifeless body of the pastor with All Christian Fellowship Church, who was also a staff of the Ekiti West Local Government Area in Ekiti, was found in the farm on Saturday night.
He was said to have been shot dead while trying to harvest banana at his plantation.
One of the sources, who pleaded anonymity, described Ogunleye’s killing as barbaric, calling on security agencies to fish out the killers.
“If you see the manner he was shot, you will see that he was kneeling down, begging not to be killed,” the source said
The Public Relations Officer of the police command in Ekiti, ASP Sunday Abutu, confirmed the incident to Tribune Online on Sunday, saying that it was “a suspected case of murder.”
