The Kogi government says it is resolute in its quest for justice for slain photojournalist Ayo Aiyepeku.

This was disclosed in a statement by Kingsley Fanwo, the Kogi Commissioner for Information and Communications, in Lokoja.

Governor Ahmed Ododo has directed security agencies to conduct a thorough investigation to unravel the incident surrounding Mr Aiyepeku’s gruesome murder.

“Justice may not bring the dead back to life, but it will console the family of the deceased that their son did not die in vain. The safety and security of our people remain a top priority of our administration.

“The government will leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of justice, ensuring that the perpetrators of this heinous act do not go unpunished.

“The investigation into the mysterious circumstances surrounding the murder and the subsequent death of the prime suspect is ongoing,” the Kogi government  said.

He urged the public to remain security-conscious and support ongoing investigations by volunteering credible information to law enforcement agencies.
