Governor of Ondo State, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, has described the death of the senior lecturer of the Ondo State University of Science and Technology, Okitipupa (OSUSTECH) late Professor Gideon Okedayo, in the captivity of kidnappers as barbaric.

Department of Mathematical Science, is a huge loss not only to the academic community, but the entire country.

Governor Akeredolu while expressing shock at the death of Prof. Okedayo in a statement signed by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Ojo Oyewamide, urged security agencies to apprehend those involved in the dastardly act.
The governor also added there is urgent need by security operatives to step up strategies in order to stop avoidable killings that had pervaded the nation lately.
