The Kogi State Government has reiterated its commitment to securing justice for the late photojournalist, Mr. Ayo Aiyepeku, who was gruesomely murdered under mysterious circumstances.
In a statement issued in Lokoja, the state’s Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Fanwo, said Governor Ahmed Ododo has directed security agencies to carry out a thorough investigation to uncover the truth behind the killing.
“Justice may not bring the dead back to life,” the statement read, “but it will console the family of the deceased that their son did not die in vain.”
Fanwo emphasized that the safety and security of the people remain a top priority of the current administration. He assured the public that the government will not rest until those responsible for the crime are brought to justice.
“The government will leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of justice, ensuring that the perpetrators of this heinous act do not go unpunished,” he stated.
He also revealed that investigations are ongoing, not only into the murder itself but also into the suspicious death of the prime suspect in the case.
The commissioner urged residents to remain vigilant and support the investigation by providing credible information to security agencies.
