The governor, who sympathised with the family of the deceased, assured them that his administration would support the police to fish out the perpetrators of the dastardly act.

Consequently, police detectives have apprehended the victim’s boyfriend, Ebenezer Adedamola, as a principal suspect. Adedamola’s arrest was sequel to the information provided by the mother of the deceased ,Yemisi Ajayi, to detectives during interogation.

The victim's mother said the boyfriend called her a couple of times to ask about her whereabouts, few hours before the crime was committed.

Her mother reportedly met her in the pool of her blood when she returned from work on Thursday and raised the alarm.

In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Segun Ajiboye, Akeredolu said every part of the state would be adequately protected.

 

The statement said: "Arakunrin Akeredolu is committed to his administration's mandate of protecting lives and properties of every resident in the state.

 

"Ondo State is not a haven or safe place for criminals and their backers to carry out their heinous crimes. It is either they change from their evil ways or the long arm of the law catches up with them. Let Seun's killers be aware that they will be fished out wherever they are hiding.

 

“The governor asks the state police command to go after the killers for prosecution to ensure that the deceased and her family get justice.
