The Police in Ekiti State has begun a manhunt for the suspected killer of a member of the All Progressives Congress during the ward congress held on Saturday.
The man identified as Jide was killed at ward 10, Ado Ekiti after an alleged beating with substances suspected to be charms.
The crisis, which broke out between two rival groups, was said to have clashed over the outcome of the congress conducted in the ward.
The victim was said to have been rushed to the hospital but died few minutes after being brought in.
Speaking with journalists in Ado Ekiti, on Sunday, the Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, ASP Sunday Abutu, said the police are working tirelessly with the party leaders to apprehend the suspect.
“We are putting all the necessary efforts to track down the suspected killer, including working with the party leaders to get him arrested.
“The matter happened yesterday and what we are doing now is to investigate the matter thoroughly and ascertain those that were involved in the dastardly act.
“Though no arrest has been made, we are optimistic that no effort will be spared on the matter, because the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Babatunde Mobayo won’t tolerate crime and criminality in Ekiti”, Abutu said.
