The Osun State government on Sunday condemned the killing of six family members at Wasinmi in Irewole Local Government Area of the state by yet to be identified gunmen and has promised to fish out the perpetrators.
The state Deputy Governor, Benedict Alabi, who was in the village on a condolence visit, however, called on members of the community to assist security agents with useful information that could speed up the arrest of the killers.
According to him, the killing was disheartening, unfortunate and a case of assassination. He affirmed that the state government has ordered the security agencies in the state to fish out the evildoers and bring them before the law.
He said: “This is a very unfortunate incident and we are so sad about it as a government. It is shocking and strange to our communities.
“We are here on behalf of the state government to sympathise with you and we are assuring you that those criminal elements that perpetrated this evil act would not go scot-free. We have ordered security agencies to swing into action and fish them out to face the wrath of the law,” he said.
He however charged members of the community and the citizens of the state at large to remain calm, assuring that government would continue to provide adequate security across the state.
