He said; “I am traumatised by this gruesome and inhuman act that has left myself, the communities and well-meaning Nigerians devastated".
"Those who perpetrated this evil are not only enemies of Imeko-Afon, but enemies of Nigeria and humanity. This has continued unabated for too long and it is clear something must be done to halt the endless killing of our people".
"We have had enough of these wanton killings all over the country. Now they have gained entrance into yorubaland and now hitting on our people in Yewaland. Our people should not be left to protect themselves when we have security agents. At no point should our people's safety be under any form of constant threat."
He commiserated with the family of the slain Olowoniyi and prayed that God gives them the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss.
“My prayers and thoughts go to the family of Dele Olowoniyi." May God grant his soul eternal repose," Isiaka said.
