There are different sides to the views of many, with the likely insinuation that could be out of proportion due to politics and unethical sensitisation. However, we need ask ourselves some candid questions. How many people had faced such sudden deaths without a single blink by some of our leaders? How many had been under siege and incessant attacks leaving hundreds dead, without recourse to their families?

Ajulo, a former National Secretary of the Labour Party, said in a statement in Lagos on Sunday that the killing should be seen as the act of criminal elements.
Makinde, in statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Taiwo Adisa, described the dastardly act as shocking, saddening and despicable, adding that security agents must get to the root of this ugly incident.
