A community leader in the western Nigerian state of Ekiti, Pa Gabriel Adewunmi, has called on the Attorney-General of the Federation to urgently investigate the killing of his son, Ayo Jeje.<\/p>\n

The 81-year-old Adewunmi told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Ibadan that the killers of his son must not be allowed to go free.<\/p>\n

Jeje was allegedly shot dead on March 30 at Erinjiyan in Ekiti State for daring to defect publicly to PDP from the ruling ACN in the state.<\/p>\n

The father recalled how a gang of unidentified gunmen allegedly went to his house on March 30 and attacked his family, killing the son and wounding others.<\/p>\n

“They all came that day. I know all of them, they shot three of my children and one died; they also shot my wife and myself. As we are speaking, my wife is still lying critically injured at Federal Medical Centre with 18 bullets removed from her body; and 17 bullets were removed from my son\u2019s body.<\/p>\n

“It was by the grace of God that we were saved from these killers,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

The community leader alleged that the offence committed by his son was his defection from ACN to PDP and his insistence on working for PDP in the next election in 2014.<\/p>\n

“What baffles me is that we know all the suspects, the police saw all the bullets; the boy killed is still in the mortuary and yet they have not been arraigned in court till now,\u2019\u2019 he lamented.<\/p>\n

Adewunmi urged the Inspector-General of Police and the Attorney-General of the Federation to ensure protection of lives and property.<\/p>\n

He called on the Attorney-General of the Federation to ensure that justice is done by expediting action on arraignment of the suspected killers of the politician.<\/p>\n

Adewunmi also called on Nigerians to join forces with his family to make sure that justice is not subverted in the case.<\/p>\n
