ANOTHER PDP CHIEFTAIN KILLED IN OSUN

Another stalwart of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State was yesterday murdered by unidentified hoodlums who invaded his residence at Irojo area of Ilesa, in Ilesa East local government area of Osun State.
The victim, Mr. Alaba Agunmo was reportedly stabbed to death by thugs who besieged his house and lured him to the back of his residence where they allegedly stabbed him on the neck till he died.
Meanwhile, the State Chairman of the party, Alhaji Ganiyu Olaoluwa, in a statement yesterday in Osogbo called on the Osun State Police Command to investigate the murder of Agunmo, whom he described as a committed member of the PDP in the state.
Recently it would be recalled that a leader of the party in the ancient town of Ile-Ife, Pa Taiwo Ogundele was killed during the just concluded voters’ registration exercise in the state.
Olaoluwa who described the killing of Agunmo as barbaric, said the party would prosecute the killing of all its members in the last three and half years of the present administration in the state.
He urged the Police to ensure thorough investigation of the murder case, just as he called on relevant agencies of government to protect members of the PDP in the state from untimely death.
Efforts to get the reaction of the state Commissioner of Police, Mr Ibrahim Maishanu and that of the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) for the state police command, Mrs. Folashade Odoro for their comments proved abortive.
