In a shocking escalation of political violence, Remi Abass, the recently sacked chairman of Irewole Local Government in Osun State, was brutally shot dead by unknown assailants on Monday, February 17, 2025, at the local government secretariat in Ikire.

The attack took place in broad daylight, sending ripples of fear and uncertainty through the community.

According to reports from credible sources, Remi Abass was at the secretariat when the gunmen struck, abruptly ending his life amidst what was supposed to be a routine day.

The incident has drawn significant attention due to the boldness of the attack and its implications on local governance and security.

Eyewitnesses described a chaotic scene as the gunmen, whose identities remain unknown, opened fire on Remi Abass.

Despite attempts by bystanders to intervene, the attackers managed to escape, leaving behind a community in mourning and authorities scrambling for answers.

Remi Abass had been a notable figure in local politics, having been reinstated as chairman after a period of political turbulence.

His reinstatement was not without controversy, as political tensions in the region have been high, often leading to violent confrontations.

This assassination could be seen as a grim reminder of the volatile political landscape in Nigeria, particularly in areas where power struggles are intense.

The Osun State Police Command had previously issued warnings to political parties to avoid violence during local government elections, highlighting the fragile peace in the state.

This incident underscores the failure to maintain that peace, casting a shadow over the efforts of law enforcement to ensure a secure electoral environment.

In response to the murder, the local authorities and the police have launched a manhunt for the perpetrators.

The State Commissioner of Police has promised a thorough investigation to bring those responsible to justice, emphasizing that such acts of v#olence will not be tolerated.

The ass@ssination of Remi Abass has not only resulted in a personal tragedy but also reignites discussions on the safety and security of political figures in Nigeria.

With political, economic, and social grievances fueling violence across the nation, as noted by recent statistics from Statista on deaths caused by political instability, this incident adds to the distressing tally.

Local residents and political analysts are expressing concern over the increasing boldness of attacks on public officials.

“This is a sad day for democracy in Osun State,” commented a local political analyst, “When our leaders are not safe, what hope is there for the common citizen?”

The community of Ikire is now left to mourn one of its leaders, while the broader implications of this assassination on local governance, public safety, and the upcoming elections remain to be seen.

Calls for increased security measures, political dialogue, and community engagement are growing louder as Osun State grapples with this latest act of political violence.

As this story develops, Bsgistnews.com will continue to provide updates. Meanwhile, condolences pour in from various quarters, with many urging for peace and justice in the wake of this tragic event.
