GUNMEN assassinated Alaba Abe, popularly known as Excel. He served as a coordinator for the Lucky Aiyedatiwa Campaign Organisation Foot Soldiers Independent Council (LACO-FSIC) in Ondo State’s Akoko South-West Local Government Area.
According to a statement issued by LACO-FSIC’s State Information Director Kayode Fasua today,
Excel was killed in his Supare residence yesterday.
“The Lucky Aiyedatiwa Campaign Organisation Foot Soldiers Independent Council (LACO-FSIC) on Sunday decried the gruesome murder of one of its ward coordinators in Akoko Southwest Local Government area of Ondo State, Mr. Alaba Abe Excel, with an appeal to the police authorities to protect its members against implacable opponents,” the statement read.
He described the late campaign coordinator as “resourceful,” adding that the development is a shock to members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the council.
“Excel had been a resourceful coordinator for the Aiyedatiwa campaign organisation in Ward 10 of Supare and was never known to be violent and never had any history of local or domestic dispute.
“We urge the police authorities to step up investigations into his gruesome murder and bring the perpetrators of the dastardly act to book,” Ajobiewe pleaded.
Meanwhile, the Convener of the LACO-FSIC, Dr. Oladipupo Okeyomi, a.k.a Carry Go, in collaboration with the Co-Convener, Prince Biyi Poroye, has expressed Governor Aiyedatiwa’s heartfelt condolences, as well as the lamentation of the campaign group and the APC leadership in Ondo State, on the tragic loss.
Similarly, Saka Yusuf-Ogunleye, State Director-General of the LACO-FSIC and State Commissioner for Sports and Youth Development, condemned the occurrence as awful and uncalled for, offering his condolences to the late Excel’s family, friends, and acquaintances.
