Unhappy at the killing by suspected Fulani herdsmen, the Deputy Governor, Dr. Kolapo Olusola, who visited the town on Saturday said the state government would take all necessary steps to avoid re-occurrence.
“We won’t allow strangers to destroy our lives and properties at will. This is a sad development that we must tackle to ensure justice and peace reign in the state. ”
Olusola during a condolence visit to the Arosanyin’s family prayed God to console the family.
“It is only God that can console you, there is little a man can do.”
Meanwhile, residents of the community were said to have been fleeing the town to neighbouring towns in fear that another attack could be staged against them.
A resident of the town told newsmen in Ado Ekiti via telephone conversation that the victims were fleeing to Irele, Ipao and Ikole Ekiti, the headquarters of the council area.
“This is a bad development. People are leaving the town in droves. Some are even packing their belongings because of the fear that they could stage more ferocious attack.
“We have been co-habiting peacefully with Fulani herdsmen for long. We didn’t know when things went awry . The security agencies must rise to the occasion. This is a serious threat to Ekiti”’, he warned
