Gunmen, on Thursday evening, invaded Koro town in Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State, killing the traditional ruler, 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.


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 meeting.

Meanwhile, the 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.

However, the Kwara state Police Commissioner, Victor Olaiya, was yet to respond to inquiry on the incident as of the time of filing this report.

wahala be like wetin again

If they can do that to a monarch, imagine the fate of the common man.

South west is fast becoming a hub of terror

Koro is just by Eruku then Egbe.

They're now targeting Yoruba traditional leaders everywhere, this is serious!

CockPit:

Just as the woman said.

The audacity is too loud and what is the benefit of this guy been president to his people.

The only viable way out of this issue of insecurity is through the creation of state police. By that, we can easily know who is failing their people. This issue of insecurity is totally getting out of hand. Lord have mercy.


Tinubu, a bad man with good intentions.

Change of taste.
It's like the blood of Yoruba Monarchs is the new meal for Fulani terrorists...

Who are the invaders or there are no eyewitnesses because they always avoid mentioning who they are.

iwaeda:
Just as the woman said.

I can bet that those kidnappers will be paid and never arrested.

A mumu country that forgives terrorists, what do you expect.

Those Fulani emirs should watch out. Killing Yoruba kings in Yoruba land is unacceptable! those useless Fulani emirs should watch out for their useless heads!

This country is cooking 🍳 trouble with petrol ⛽️.

“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.”

The only think they know how to say provided it didn't get to them or their family members.

I know all these is geared towards discrediting Tinubu. But Asiwaju too must wake up to the challenge and gore them!
