The Imole Campaign Council (TICC) has called on the lawmaker representing Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency, Mr. Oluwole Oke, to assist law enforcement in getting justice for the late Ajayi Aderogba, by producing one of his aides mentioned by the widow of the deceased as one of the mastermind of the killing without delay, saying anything to the contrary would mean complicit.
TICC made this known in a press statement issued and signed by its spokesperson, Barr Pelumi Olajengbesi.
Olajengbesi said that accounts by the wife of late Aderogba, Mrs Tolulope who was at the scene of the killing of her husband, established clear involvement of an aide of Mr. Oke, known as Omo Aje. The widow’s account was detailed and concise, which could hasten justice for late Aderogba should everyone mentioned are taken into custody by law enforcement.
“As kinsman and the representative of the late Aderogba, Mr. Oke owes the family of deceased and the people of Esa-Oke a duty to ensure justice is done on the matter and that start with him producing his aide fingered in the brutal murder of the young man.
