In the wake of the tragic killings of residents in the ancient town of Akinlalu, a community in Ife North area of Osun State, the campaign team of a governorship aspirant, the MD/CEO of National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, known as AMBO, has paid a condolence visit to the families of the victims and announced scholarships for the children of the victims.
During the visit on Monday, the AMBO movement announced that the scholarship would be covering their education from primary to tertiary levels. The movement also pledged to construct an ultramodern police division in the town to enhance security.
Oyebamiji expressed heartfelt sympathies to the families affected by the violence, emphasizing that the AMBO movement would do everything possible to support them. He assured the community that efforts would be made in collaboration with security agencies to ensure that those responsible for the killings are brought to justice.
“It is painful that the lives of promising young people, who represent the future of this town, were cut short in such a brutal manner. I assure you that the perpetrators will face the full consequences of their actions. We are committed to restoring peace in your community,” Oyebamiji said.
