2 Ekiti traditional rulers gunned down
Legit.ng earlier reported that Ekiti state was thrown into another tension as gunmen suspected to be kidnappers on Monday evening, January 29, killed two traditional rulers in the Ikole local government area of Ekiti state.
The monarchs were allegedly ambushed and killed by the arm-wielding attackers along Ipao-Irele-Oke Ako while returning from Ogbe, a neighbouring town in Yagba West Local Government Area of Kogi state.
It was reliably gathered that the vehicle conveying three monarchs was accosted, and Oba Ogunsakin and Oba Olatunji were killed. At the same time, the Alara of Ara-Ekiti, Oba Adebayo Fatoba, escaped from the scene.
