Child killer in Makinde’s camp must be prosecuted: Alao-Akala
Former Oyo governor Adebayo Alao-Akala has challenged Governor Seyi Makinde to find and bring to justice one of his aides who killed a child in Ogbomoso area of the state.
Mr Alao-Akala, of the opposition All Progressives Congress in the state, said in a statement on Friday that the child was killed by a car suspected to be in Makinde’s motorcade in Ogbomoso on Thursday.
The former governor described the incident as sad and unfortunate, saying it was heartbreaking to see the father of the little girl carrying the lifeless body of his once bubbly child in tears and anguish.
He urged Mr Makinde to ensure that a thorough investigation was carried out on the incident and the findings made public.
Mr Alao-Akala insisted that no matter how highly placed the person involved was, such an individual must be brought to book.
“Governor Makinde must ensure that justice is accordingly served as a deterrent to other reckless drivers,” the former governor said.
