A former Ekiti State Chairman of
the National Union of Road Transport Workers, Omolafe Aderiye, was
killed last night by unknown gunmen in Ijigbo area of the state capital,
Ado-Ekiti.
He was shot at close range in his office while eating with friends.
A source said his assassins dressed in Mobile Police uniform with bulletproof vest came in a white car and immediately opened fire on sighting him.
He died before medical attention could get to him.
Aderiye was a staunch supporter of the Governor-elect, Mr. Ayo Fayose, and took active part in his campaign coordination.
The Chief Press Secretary to Fayose, Mr. Idowu Adelusi, confirmed the report last night.
He said, “It is true he was killed today arround 8:30p.m while he was with his friends. He was sprayed from his chest down with a pump action rifle.
“He took effective participation in the coordination of security arrangement during our last campaign. His death is very unfortunate.”
The Ekiti State Police command had yet to confirm the news last night.
Another source said his remains had been deposited in the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital.
This incident has posed a great catastrophe in Ado-Ekiti, hence, APC Campaign House in Ado-Ekiti has been set ablazed
