The Ondo State Police Command on Sunday said it had begun an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of one Mr Alaba Abe, one of the ward campaign coordinators of the state Governor Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa during the last primary of the party.
Abe, who was also known as Excel, was reportedly assassinated by unknown gunmen in Supare Akoko, Akoko South-West Area of the state on Saturday evening.
This incident happened barely a week after the All Progressives Congress held their primary across the 18 local government areas of the state.
The deceased was also said to be the returning officer for the party’s primary at Ward 10 in the council area.
It was gathered that the deceased was assassinated on Saturday night around 9 pm in front of his house at Supare Akoko.
When contacted on Sunday, the Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs Funmilayo Odunlami, confirmed the incident, saying the command was aware of it and had begun an investigation into it.
The PPRO said, “The command is aware of the incident at Supare, an investigation is ongoing to unravel all that happened”
