The Planter Of Christ Apostolic Church (Boanerges) Worldwide, Prophet Ade Ologbonyo has commiserated with the families of the Onimojo of Imojo Ekiti, Oba Samuel Olatunji, and the Elesun of Esun Ekiti, Oba Babatunde Ogunsakin, who were gruesomely killed by unknown gunmen in Ekiti.
Prophet Ologbonyo noted that the gruesome act was a signal of zero concern by the perpetrators of the gruesome actions towards the tranquillity of the state.
The incident is reported to have happened between Oke-Ako and Ipao-Ekiti, where the monarchs were attacked while returning from a meeting.
Similarly, the Cleric also condemned the recent kidnapping of six pupils, teachers and a bus driver of a private school, describing it as serious threat to the safety of citizens.
While urging the state and federal government to take drastic action in fishing out killers and bring them to justice, he called on security agents in the state to intensify efforts to make sure the innocent kids are released from Kidnappers’ den.
“I have alerted the governments of Ekiti and Ondo States some years back, as revealed by the Holy Spirit, that the forests in these two states have been invaded and there was the need to flush out these criminal elements. This is the time for action. I dont believe in talking after the did has been done, we need to be proactive. We need more police presence in Ekiti and the call for the establishment of State Policing should be sustained.
In the interim, let’s us have more paramilitary personnel to secure our various communities in Ekiti.
Let’s encourage each community to scale up local intelligence gathering by forming mini security Committee at every quarter. This committee should ensure that they monitor what is going on around them and report any strange faces or movements around them.
“Again this is the time to collaborate with the Governor and our traditional Rulers. Curbing insecurity requires a collective effort, insecurity is not a challenge that affects only a section of the society, but everywhere. It won’t be out of place for each community to contribute money and buy CCTV cameras. The era of waiting for government is over. Let’s take our destinies in our hands.
Government too must expedite action in procuring drone for surveillance. Ekiti is not too big, only one drone can survey the whole of Ekiti in less that one hour. We have different kinds of drones, we have drones that can record voices and those that can attack.
Community security meetings should be more regular now and every suspicious movement must be reported to the appropriate authorities.
“It saddens my heart when I heard about the death of our traditional rulers.
“It is indeed with a heart full of sadness that I am writing this to commiserate with the families of the deceased.”
Two Ekiti Obas, the Onimojo of Imojo in Oye Local Government, Oba Olatunde Olusola, and the Elesun of Esun in Ajoni Local Council Development Area, Oba David Ogunsakin, were on Monday evening murdered while traveling along Irele-Oke Ako road.
The Clergy stalwart charged the security outfits to form a strong network to protect the people from untimely death and recurrent kidnapping and killings along the Ipao-Oke Ako-Irele road.
Ologbonyo said “I felt so sad that two eminent monarchs could be killed in such a gruesome manner. This is a sign of failure of governance at both state and federal levels and it is a wake-up call to all of us.
