Aiyedatiwa’s campaign coordinator shot dead

Alaba Excel Abbey, a campaign coordinator for the re-election bid of Governor of Ondo State, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has been killed in his home by unknown gunmen.

Abbey, who served as a ward coordinator for the Lucky Aiyedatiwa Campaign Organisation Foot-Soldiers, was killed at his home in Supare Akoko, Akoko South West Local Government Area of the state, according to a report by Daily Trust.

The Director-General of the Aiyedatiwa campaign organization, David Ajobiewe, who condemned the killing of Abbey, stated that the deceased wasn’t a violent person.

He urged the police operatives to unravel the death of the late campaign coordinator.

He said, “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 a 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.”

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Funmilayo Odunlami-Omisanya, said, “The state command is aware of the incident (killing) but the investigation is ongoing to unravel all that happened.”
