Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos State in the 2023 poll, Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran popularly called Jandor has expressed shock and sadness over the invasion of Egan Oriomi town, in Otto Awori Local Council Development Area (LCDA) of the state.
The Egan Oriomi community, a part of the Elete Kingdom where the mother of Jandor hails was reported to have been invaded by unknown assailants in the early hours of Sunday, resulting in the loss of innocent life and wanton destruction of property.
The PDP standard bearer expressed this concern in a statement issued by his spokesperson, Mr Gbenga Ogunleye, copy of which was made available to newsmen, describing the incident as unfortunate as well as a heinous act of violence and terror on a community known for peace.
“It is with great sadness that I condemn this heinous act of violence on my peace-loving people of Egan Oriomi. It is disheartening that such acts of terror can still occur in a town where peace and tranquillity prevailed,” he said.
Jandor, therefore, called on the security agencies to arrest those behind the heinous act to make them face the full wrath of the law.
“As we mourn the loss of an innocent life and the destruction of property, I call on the state government to apprehend those behind this heinous crime and make them face the full wrath of the law,” he said.
Jandor, however, enjoined the entire youths of the Elete Kingdom to rise to the occasion by uniting against those who sought to spread fear and terror in the community, admonishing them to be vigilant and take steps to ensure the safety and security of lives and property of the town.
