Kwara Police Commissioner Sheds Light on the Murder of Retired Works Controller

Date: 2025-01-06

The Kwara State Commissioner of Police, Victor Olaiya, over the weekend provided updates on the gruesome murder of AbdulRazaq Ajani, a retired federal controller of works.

Ajani, who was killed in Ilorin on New Year's Day, was a native of Ikotun in Oyun Local Government Area and served as the Chairman of the Infrastructure Development Committee of the Ibolo Peoples Parley (IPP).

The Commissioner described the incident as a significant loss and assured that the police are intensifying efforts to bring the perpetrators to justice.

The deceased was brutally killed on Friday inside his residence in the Awolowo area, Tanke, Il?rin, shortly after he returned from Offa with his wife and children where they had gone to celebrate the New Year.

CCTV footage showed that four suspects around the ages of 18 and 22 years old, easily gained access to the house when the deceased drove in and they hacked him with what appeared like axes to death after they had a conversation.

Speaking with our correspondent on the circumstances behind the killing, Olaiya assured that “will leave no stone unturned to unravel the mystery behind the unfortunate incident.

“The wife said he had a conversation with some four men and the details of that engagement we will keep to ourselves for now because it is useful.

“(But) from all indications, evidence suggests that it was a cult-related attack. The wife and children were there but he directed them to go into the room and leave him with the unwanted visitors who thereafter carried out the dastardly act.

“Some of those conversations are very suggestive (of a cult-related killing) and we are looking at this particular case as one of those cases of visiting cultists. I don't want to divulge much yet but be rest assured that we will get to the bottom of this case,” Olaiya stated.

Meanwhile, the IPP in a statement by its General Secretary, Chief Rauf Balogun (SAN), expressed shock over the incident.

“We passionately appeal to the relevant security agencies to unravel the mystery surrounding the murder and bring the perpetrators of the heinous crime to book,” Balogun added.
