“APC condemns these killings in its entirety and warns mischief-makers to desist from involving the party in the crisis.
“It is barbaric, evil and inhuman to kill fellow human beings under any guise.
“The Police and other security agencies are in control of the situation and we hope the perpetrators and sponsors of this dastardly act will soon be arrested to face the wrath of the law,’’ Adesanya said.
He appealed to residents of the town to be calm and to go about their normal and lawful duties.
