The Special Adviser to the Governor
on Communication and Strategy, Mr. Yomi Layinka, yesterday in Ibadan, announced
the reward. He said the money would be awarded to anyone with credible
information, which might lead to the arrest of the killers.
Ajimobi appealed to members of the
public in possession of any useful information to contact the following
telephone numbers: 0802 343 1079, 0803 653 6581. He said that such tips would
be treated with utmost confidence.
The late Aremu represented Oorelope
Constituency in the House of Assembly until he was murdered on July 1, 2016, by
three gunmen. The killers were believed to have trailed him on a motorcycle.
The governor said that he was still
saddened by the incident, which had shattered the serenity the state had
enjoyed in the past five years.
Layinka said: “The governor wishes to reiterate his
administration’s relentless pursuit and defence of the security of lives and
properties of all citizens of Oyo State. The government wishes to assure
such volunteers of absolute secrecy, confidentiality and protection. Please,
help to find those behind the murder of Hon. Gideon Aremu, so that he and his
family can get justice.”
Ajimobi promised
members of the public that the police and other security agencies would not relent
in their efforts at maintaining peace and orderliness, and assured the deceased’s
family that a crack team of homicide detectives were already working hard to
apprehend the suspects.
