A statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Communication Strategy, Crusoe Osagie, quoted Obaseki as saying that “I was shocked on receiving the news of Mr. Samson Sedi’s death. My heart goes out to his family. I have ordered the relevant security agencies to arrest the killers and prosecute them without delay.”
