FEMI MAKINDE
The Speaker of Osun State House of Assembly, Mr. Najeem Salaam, has called on Governor Rauf Aregbesola and his Kogi State counterpart, Mr. Yahaya Bello, and security agencies in the state to arrest the hoodlums who abducted and killed a Permanent Secretary in Osun State, Mrs. Kemi Kolawole.
Kolawole and her driver were travelling along Kogi-Abuja Road on Thursday when the hoodlums kidnapped the permanent secretary and later hacked her to death. Her driver was also killed.
The speaker in a statement issued on Saturday to commiserate with the families of the victims, their colleagues and friends, lamented the insecurity on the road leading to the Federal Capital Territory from Kogi State.
The statement said, “Security agencies should unveil the killers in order to obtain justice for the deceased. Osun State Government should engage Kogi State Government and security agencies on the ugly incidence.”
Meanwhile, the Osun State Government has said it would ensure that Kolawole’s killers were brought to justice.
The Commissioner for Information in the state, Mr. Adelani Baderinwa, said in a statement on Saturday.
Baderinwa said, “Osun has lost a respected, hard-working, illustrious and hospitable woman. The state’s civil service will surely miss her. Mrs. Kolawole’s death is an irreparable loss to the government.
“As a government, we will ensure that the killers of Mrs. Kolawole are arrested and brought to justice. We will ensure that the killers face the full wrath of the law. We commiserate with Mrs. Kolawole’s family, her children in particular, her friends and relatives.”
