The Kogi State Government has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring justice for Ayo Aiyepeku, the photojournalist who was brutally murdered under mysterious circumstances.
In a statement issued by the Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Fanwo, in Lokoja, the government condemned the killing and pledged a thorough investigation.
Governor Ahmed Ododo has directed security agencies to uncover the truth behind Aiyepeku’s death, emphasizing that justice must prevail.
“Justice may not bring the dead back to life, but it will console the family of the deceased that their son did not die in vain,” the government stated.
“The safety and security of our people remain a top priority of our administration. The government will leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of justice, ensuring that the perpetrators of this heinous act do not go unpunished.”
The statement also addressed the ongoing investigation, noting that authorities are probing both the murder and the subsequent death of the prime suspect.
“The investigation into the mysterious circumstances surrounding the murder and the subsequent death of the prime suspect is ongoing,” the government said.
Fanwo urged the public to remain vigilant and assist law enforcement by providing credible information that could aid the investigation.
