activist and principal secretary to the Governor of Edo State Adams
Oshiomhole of Edo State, Olaitan Oyerinde, was murdered in cold blood on
Friday morning around 1: 00AM by unknown gunmen in Benin city, the
capital of Edo state.
Comrade Olaitan
was shot to death in from of his wife and children by armed assassins
who stormed his officials residence in the city. His murder is believed
in the security circle to be related with Governor Oshiomhole's upcoming
re-election campaign in Edo State.
As an official
aide to the governor he is crucial to the coordination and management of
electioneering activities for the governor. Comrade Olaitan, a
University of Lagos alumni is well-known and highly respected as an
excellent organizer.

recalled that just last week the governor narrowly escaped a mysterious
auto accident in the state, a truck rammed into his convoy as he was
returning from a campaign rally, killing 3 journalists and injuring
several others.
