Ondo state governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu (SAN), has urged the state police command to fish out the killers of Seun Ajila, the teenage model who was allegedly raped and murdered in Akure last week.
Miss. Ajila, who was an ex-student of Adeyemi College of Education in Ondo, was raped and stabbed to death around Sunday Bus Stop, Ijoka road in Akure, the state capital.
Akeredolu urged the police to ensure that her killers are arrested and made to face the wrath of the law.
The governor, who sympathised with the family of the deceased, assured them that his administration would support the police to fish out the perpetrators of the dastardly act.
In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Segun Ajiboye, Akeredolu said every part of the state would be adequately protected.
“Arakunrin Akeredolu is committed to his administration’s mandate of protecting lives and properties of every resident in the state.
“Ondo State is not a haven or safe place for criminals and their backers to carry out their heinous crimes. It is either they change from their evil ways or the long arm of the law catches up with them.
“Let Seun’s killers be aware that they will be fished out wherever they are hiding,” the governor said.
He also asked the state police command to go after the killers for prosecution to ensure that the deceased and her family get justice.
Meanwhile, her boyfriend, Ebenezer Adedamola have been arrested by the police.
