Ekiti Poll Killing: Gov. Fayemi Orders Police To Produce Murderer
The executive Governor of Ekiti State Dr Kayode Fayemi has ordered the police force in the state to produce the murderer of one Dotun Kosedake killed during the just concluded local government poll in the state.
The Chief Press Secretary, Mr Yinka Oyebode, disclosed this in a statement over the weekend in Ado-Ekiti.
He, however, expressed satisfaction at the general conduct of the election.

” We commiserate with the family of the deceased, even as I have directed the police in the state to investigate what actually transpired and bring the perpetrators to book,” he said.
He lauded the professionalism of the EKSIEC officials under the leadership of Justice Jide Aladejana, saying that the hitch-free nature of the election was a reflection of their professional conduct.
Fayemi said he was particularly impressed the election held under a peaceful atmosphere as voters and SIEC officials conducted themselves in orderly manner.
While congratulating the newly elected council chiefs, the governor urged them to see their election as a call to service, adding that they could not afford to disappoint those who voted for them.
He reminded them of his administration’s zero tolerance for corruption and mediocrity, adding that it was no longer business as usual in the councils.

” The professionalism of SIEC under the leadership of Justice Jide Aladejana is also commendable
“I also congratulate and welcome onboard all our newly elected chairmen and councillors
