A member of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Kola Ologede (APC-Akure North), has appealed to security agencies to fish out killers of two members of his constituency.
The News Agency of Nigeria recalls Lucia Ayelabola, a farmer, and Sunday Oladele, a commercial motorcyclist, were the victims.
They were killed on Tuesday at Ago Oyinbo in Igbatoro Familugba Community, Akure North Local Government Area of the state.
Ologede in a statement on Thursday in Akure said the deceased were engaging in their legitimate means of survival before their “senseless and barbaric” killings.
The lawmaker described the attacks as “dastardly, ruthless, and reprehensible”, and demanded immediate action from security agencies to apprehend the perpetrators to bring them to justice.
He said: “The killings and shootings of my constituents are sad and disturbing development that must be condemned by all.
