Kalejaye condemned the killing, saying Isibor’s death was a great loss to the party.

“Security challenge has been a major focus of the APC-led government in Ondo State, for which so much has been done.
“The attack on Isibor and others has again underscored the need for every stakeholder to support the security initiative of the state government to stamp out all forms of criminality,”he said.
The publicity secretary prayed for the repose of Isibor’s soul, adding that the party condoled with the family, his community, and the APC fold in Ose, and indeed in the state.
