Unknown gunmen have shot a stalwart of the All Progressives Congress (APC) identified as Kazeem Alli popular called Kekere Pasuma, in Osun State.
It was gathered that the deceased who is the branch chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Apomu headquarters, Isokan Local Government Area, was killed on Saturday evening.
Findings show that the deceased had been a die-hard supporter of APC who had allegedly deprived other political parties of avenues to use vehicles in his garage.
It was gathered that his killers pursued him on Saturday to where he was shot dead.
“He was killed around 9pm between Oke-Alfa and Timberland area. He was killed at the stream in the area. He was pursued to the spot where he was killed. Two vehicles followed him to the point where his car was waylaid and killed,” sources stated.
The Isokan Local Government Secretary, Tajudeen Bello, confirmed that the deceased was killed by unknown gunmen.
He said, “Alhaji Kazeem played a major role during the 2022 Osun state governorship election. As a chairman of NURTW, he directed all his members to vote for APC and threatened that anybody who voted for PDP will be dealt with as long as he is the chairman. He was reported at the palace and he stood by his words,” Bello explained.
Also, the state chairman of APC, Prince Gboyega Famodun, confirmed this through his media adviser, Kola Olabisi.
The APC stated that the killing of Alli is wicked, callous and highly condemnable.
