President Bola Tinubu has received the news of the killing of two traditional rulers in Ekiti State, the Onimojo of Imojo-Ekiti, Oba Olatunde Samuel Olusola, and the Elesun of Esun-Ekiti, Oba David Babatunde Ogunsola with grief.

The President, according to a release issued on Tuesday by his Media Adviser, Ajuri Ngelale, condemned this mindless and brutal bloodletting, and pledged that the perpetrators will not escape justice.

President Tinubu condoled with the families and subjects of the traditional rulers, Governor Biodun Oyebanji, and the people of Ekiti State on this deeply agonizing development.

In the same vein, the President has directed the immediate rescue of pupils and teachers kidnapped around Eporo-Ekiti area of the State.

As security of life and property is the primary responsibility of government, President Tinubu assured Nigerians that the nation’s security architecture is being robustly fortified for better and expected outcomes.
