Sodiq was declared missing by his family members on Friday evening after he had left home for the farm on Friday morning. His corpse was found on Saturday morning with bullet injuries on his back. A team of police officers led by the Divisional Police Officer, Ilobu have removed the corpse.
We’re concerned that Akinyooye that has been telling the world that there’s a case at the Appeal court, has resorted to violence, killing and maiming of our people.
We once again call on the security agencies to immediately arrest, investigate and charge Babatunde Oyetunji and Jide Akinyooye for murder of Sodiq who was killed at his prime. This, we believe, will restore the confidence of every Ilobu son and daughter on the security architecture. Our people are now living in panic as we don’t know the next victim of Oyetunji and Akinyooye’s terror.
We also call on Governor Ademola Adeleke to reign in on other belligerent elements in Ifon-Osun to avoid breakdown of law and order.
In the meantime, the President of IDU, Pastor Olufemi Salako is urging every son and daughter of Ilobu to remain calm and peaceful in face of obvious provocation. Ours is a home of hospitality and we shall remain so.”
