The Minister of State, Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo has sympathised with the publisher of Sahara Reporters Omoyele Sowore over the alleged killing of his younger brother by unknown gunmen on Saturday.
Keyamo, in a letter to Sowore, which he posted on his official Facebook wall, described the incident as unfortunate.
The Minister said he would work with other people to encourage the security operatives to apprehend the killers of Jide Sowore and bring them to justice.
“I read with deep sadness the reports on the senseless killing of your younger brother, Mr. Jide Sowore, a student of pharmacy at Igbinedion University, Okada, in Edo State, this morning. It is quite sad and regrettable that such a young man would be cut down in his prime by criminal elements.
“Myself and other compatriots would be pressurising the law-enforcement agents to track down these killers without delay and bring them to justice. This, and many others around the country, must be checkmated with all arsenals at our disposal.
“I urge you to take heart and remain committed to helping the nation find a lasting solution to some of these numerous challenges.
