In fulfilment of his pledge, Governor Ademola Adeleke has relocated Tolulope Aderogba, the widow of slain Accord member, and her four children to the state capital for maximum protection and care.
The widow had given an account of how her husband was killed, directly mentioning the personal assistant to Hon Wole Oke and the town’s youth leader who was present throughout the killing.
When the widow arrived in the capital, she needed medical attention and the governor gave instructions for immediate medical attention which is ongoing.
Aside from moving the families to the state capital, the governor has also granted full scholarship to the four children of the deceased while accommodation has also been provided for them at the capital.
The governor also included the fifth child who was staying with the Aderogba family as at the time of the incident.
The relocation process coordinated by Hon Pelumi Olajengbesi, the spokesperson to the Imole Campaign Council and the member of the House of Assembly representing Obokun state constituency, Hon Adewumi Adeyemi, was completed on Friday evening following fear about the safety of the widow and her children.
Olajengbesi had also handsomely donated for the care and support of the bereaved family.
Governor Adeleke also visited the relocated family and assured them of their safety and care, assuring that the Aderogba’s killers will surely be apprehended and prosecuted.
The governor informed the police authorities that some members of Esa Oke communities are still being threatened because of their support for Accord, tasking the police to act before another tragedy in that ancient town.
“I am happy the widow and children are now fully secured here at the capital. We have made all arrangements for the schooling and other needs of the family. The state will ensure their safety, care and justice for the late Aderogba.
“I am monitoring the implementation of the directives by the Inspector General of Police through the Deputy Inspector General of police. It is getting to 72 hours after the meeting. 48 hours ago, the Deputy Inspector General of Police also held an operational meeting with the service commanders in the state.
“We expect immediate action to implement directives of the Inspector General of Police. I am hoping that no police officer will defy an openly conveyed instructions and operational orders duly issued by the IGP”, the governor noted while again condoling the family.
