Odo-Oro-Ekiti, a community in Ikole Local Government Area of Ekiti State, was on Monday thrown into mourning as its traditional ruler, Oba Gbadebo Ogunsakin, was stabbed to death.
The traditional ruler was stabbed with a knife by a man suspected to be insane after a meeting of the traditional council.
The monarch was stabbed by the assailant while he was attempting to enter his vehicle after the council meeting.
A resident confirming said:
“All we heard was a cry for help from the traditional ruler’s driver shortly after the council meeting.
..
“On getting there, we saw our traditional ruler in a pool of his blood with a knife in the chest.
“We tried rushing him to the hospital, but Oba Ogunsakin gave up the ghost,” another resident, who does not want his name mentioned, said.
..
NAN reports that some irate youths in the community took to the streets in search of the assailant who was said to have fled into the bush after the incident.
The Police Public Relations Officer in Ekiti, DSP Caleb Ikechukwu, confirmed the incident.
