Gunmen kill Kwara monarch near Ekiti, abduct wife, two others
Three days after the brutal killing of two monarchs in Ekiti State, gunmen on Thursday night invaded the palace of Olukoro of Koro in Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State and murdered the traditional ruler of the community, General Segun Aremu (retd).
The gunmen also abducted the wife of the monarch and two others.
Koro in Kwara is the neighbouring town of Irele/Oke Ako/Ipao/Oke Aiyedun and Ikole and shares boundaries with Ekiti State where two monarchs were recently killed.
Spokeswoman for the Kwara State Police command, Toun Ejire-Adeyemi, confirmed the incident in a statement issued early morning on Friday.
Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaqof Kwara State described the incident as “reckless, shocking and abominable”.
“We will certainly get the perpetrators and ensure that this is their last crime against humanity,” he said charging security agencies to move into action swiftly.
