Gunmen, on Thursday evening, invaded Koro town in Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State, killing the traditional ruler, Onikoro of Koro Kwara, Oba Segun Aremu-Cole.


It was gathered that the gunmen stormed the palace of the monarch around 7 pm, fired gunshots which hit the traditional ruler.

The wife of the monarch was also abducted by the assailants.

Koro Ekiti shares boundary with Egbe, in Yagba West Local Government Area of Kogi State.

The town shares a migration history with Ikoro-Ekiti, (now Headquarters of Eso-Obe Local Council Development Area) in Ijero Local Government Areas of Ekiti State.

This is coming a few days after gunmen killed two traditional rulers in Ekiti State.

The duo – Onimojo of Imojo Ekiti in Oye Local Government Area and Elesun of Esun Ekiti in Ajoni, Ikole Local Government Area of Ekiti State, were attacked by the gunmen while returning from a security meeting.


Meanwhile, the Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq who confirmed the attack late Thursday in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Rafiu Ajakaye, condemned the killing of the monarch.

The statement read,

“The monarch was reportedly shot dead in his palace on Thursday night by some unknown gunmen, who also whisked away his wife and two others.

“The governor condemned the development, which he said was reckless, shocking, and abominable.


“He charged the security agencies not to spare any resources to track down the perpetrators, free the spouse and others taken away, and bring them to book.”


Ajakaiye further quoted the governor as saying,

“We will certainly get the perpetrators and ensure that this is their last crime against humanity.

“My profound condolences go to the people of Koro. Our hearts are broken, and we stand by them at this time and always”, the statement said.

Full scale war need to be declared on this guy's, the only reason they succeed is because you can't really tell the innocent ones from the criminal if not, but the way thing is going, it is going to be a big problem for the innocent fulanis among us. Their elite should find a way to put and to this madness.

The situation is getting out of hands. A state of emergency needs to be declared. Maybe it’s time to consider military administrators. This is war.
