Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara has called on the security agencies to bring the killers of Miss Olajide Omowumi Blessing to justice.
Miss Olajide, a 300-level student of the University of Ilorin, was raped to death at her home in the Tanke area of Ilorin on Tuesday.
However, the Governor, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Rafiu Ajakaye on, Friday in Ilorin, described as shocking and condemnable the reported rape and murder of the student.
“The development is heart-wrenching and absolutely unacceptable.
“We must all be united to fight this to a logical conclusion.
“I call on the security agencies to get to the root of this dastardly act with a view to bringing the mindless perpetrators to book.
“I similarly call on anyone with valuable information to volunteer same to the security agencies,” the statement said.
The governor, therefore, expressed his condolences with the parents of the deceased, her course/housemates, and the university community on this sad incident.
“I join every person of good conscience to seek justice for Blessing so that such callous action and its perpetrators will never find a foothold in our society.
“I hereby send strong warnings that we will not tolerate indiscriminate violence against any person, much less the girl child.
“Enough is enough! The security agencies will get the perpetrators to pay heavily for this crime,” AbdulRazaq said in the statement.
