BALTIMORE, MD (AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress,APC, has condemned the gruesome assassination of the Managing Director of the Lekki Free Trade Zone, Alhaji Tajudeen Disu and three other people in Ibeju Lekki area of the state while on official duty.

The party described the cold blooded murder as inhuman, beastly and barbaric and urged the security agencies to ensure that no stone is left unturned in apprehending and punishing the perpetrators and their sponsors.

In a release in Lagos, signed by the Lagos State Publicity Secretary of the APC, Joe Igbokwe, the party said that the killing of Alhaji Disu portended grave danger to the effort to develop the state and country as the sordid act was perpetrated by those who intended on constituting cogs in the wheel of progress in Lagos and Nigeria.

It said that all efforts must be made to fish out all those remotely and actively involved in the murder and bring them to justice so as to send the message that such criminal acts are not parts of the new Nigeria that is fast evolving.

“We wonder what could make the perpetrators of the gruesome killing of Alhaji Disy resort to such extreme display of bestiality if not for pristine interests that are not In consonance with the progress and well being of Nigerians and Lagosians. We believe that the perpetrators of such heinous crime were sworn enemies of progress who were bent on daring the law to execute their deadly interests. We believe that the law must exert maximum pressure to send the message down that such extreme cases of bestiality are not tolerable under the new order that is evolving in Nigeria today.

“That Alhaji Disu would be killed in such gruesome manner while on official duty portends grave danger to the interests of Lagos and Nigeria and says so much about the dark interests of the perpetrators and their sponsors and the system must exert due punishment on them to send messages to intending perpetrators of such dastardly acts that selfish interests should not override the common good.

“Alhaji Disu was a tested and competent technocrat that had worked so hard for the progress and development of Lagos. His commitment to the effort to provide conducive environment for investments in Lagos is unquantifiable and his dreams of a Lagos that drives innumerable investments and limitless opportunities remain indelible. Lagos will miss this rounded technocrat.

“Lagos APC calls on all security agencies to ensure nothing is left to chance in the effort to bringing his killers and their sponsors to justice. We demand for added efforts on the parts of the security agencies to ensure that all those directly and remotely involved in the assassination of a Alhaji Disu are apprehended and brought to justice. We see this as a way to send signals to criminal elements that place their selfish interests above the common interest that such heinous crimes do not pay,” it said.
