Authorities in Ose Local Government Area of Ondo State have declared a three-day mourning period in honour of Mr Nelson Adepoyigi, the slain APC Ward 5 Chairman who was recently abducted and killed by yet-to-be-identified assailants.
Chairman of the council, Kolapo Ojo, made the announcement as a mark of respect for the late party chieftain’s dedication to the development of the community.
The mourning period is scheduled to run from Monday, May 19, to Wednesday, May 21, 2025.
As part of the directive, all flags within government premises in the local council are to be flown at half-mast to reflect the collective grief of the people.
