In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Malam Olawale Rasheed, Governor Adeleke expressed his appreciation for the ongoing investigation while emphasizing the need for due process and strict adherence to the rule of law.
He assured the police of the state government’s full cooperation and extended his condolences to the victims and their families.
Governor Adeleke reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring that everyone involved in the incident faces justice, stressing that no one — regardless of status or influence — would be shielded from the consequences of their actions.
“There will be no sacred cows in this matter,” the Governor said. “Anyone found culpable, no matter how highly placed or connected, must face the full weight of the law.”
