Fayemi condoles with Sowore over brother’s death, asks security agencies to end ‘wastage of precious lives’

Kayode Fayemi, governor of Ekiti, has condoled with Omoyele Sowore, publisher of Sahara Reporters, over the death of his brother. 

Olajide Sowore, younger brother of the convener of the #RevolutionNow movement, was killed on Saturday by suspected kidnappers along the Benin-Lagos highway in Edo state.

The deceased was a student of Igbinedion University, Okada, in Edo state.

The police said five other persons were kidnapped during the attack.

In a statement on Monday by Yinka Oyebode, his chief press secretary, Fayemi asked security operatives to put an end to the “wastage of precious lives”.

The governor also asked security agents to ensure that those who were abducted during the attack regain their freedom.

“It is time security agencies, with the support of the citizens, put an end to this wastage of precious lives,” he said.

“My sincere condolences go to the Sowore family, especially the brother of the deceased, Omoyele Sowore.”

Fayemi also advised Nigerians to assist law enforcement agencies with provision of credible information.
