According to a statement issued on Saturday and signed by the Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Fanwo, the governor directed the State Security Adviser to collaborate with security agencies and local vigilante groups to ensure that the perpetrators are apprehended and brought to justice.

“We sympathize with the communities affected by this unfortunate incident. Rest assured, the Ododo Administration is fully committed to your security and will stop at nothing to guarantee your safety,” the statement added.

The state government also called on the public to provide credible information that could assist security agencies in their efforts to apprehend the culprits.

“Every life in Kogi State is important, and we need the cooperation of our people to end criminal activities,” the statement emphasized.

Security operatives have already been deployed to Odo Ape and other flashpoints in the area to restore peace and ensure the protection of lives and properties. The government assured residents that normalcy would be restored within hours.

Ododo further pledged that those who lost their lives in the attack would not be forgotten and vowed to build the state’s capacity to combat criminal elements effectively.

“The victims of this heinous act will not die in vain. We remain resolute in our fight against the enemies of peace and security in Kogi State,” he noted.

Ogun State Governor and Chairman of the South Governors’ Forum, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has commiserated with Governor of Ondo State, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, over the death of the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Tayo Oluwatuyi.

Abiodun, who also condoled with the people of Ondo State over the passing of the SSG, described Oluwatuyi’s death as a great loss to the government and the state.

Oluwatuyi reportedly died on Saturday at a hospital in the state from the injuries he sustained in car accident.

The accident occurred on December 17, while the late Oluwatuyi was travelling from Akure, the state capital, to Ibadan, Oyo State.

The Ogun State governor stated that the deceased SSG was a consummate public servant, a thoroughbred professional, and a conscientious individual.

Abiodun added that Oluwatuyi’s imprints and strides in and out of the government in Ondo State had been nothing short of phenomenal.

“On behalf of the Southern States’ governors, I want to sympathise with His Excellency, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, and the entire good people of Ondo State over the sudden demise of Oluwatuyi.

“I urge my brother, the State Executive Council, and the family and friends of the deceased to take consolation in the fact that the deceased lived a life of service for which he will be remembered for a long time to come.”
