Gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen on Friday killed Mrs Funke Olakunrin, daughter of the National leader of the pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, Chief Reuben Fasoranti.
According to a source, Olakunrin was killed along the Ore-Shagamu Expressway at Kajola Village in Odigbo Local Government Area of the state during an armed robbery.He said, “The hoodlums started shooting as they stopped some vehicles on the highway to rob and kidnap the travellers. During the process the woman was hit by a bullet while those who escaped sustained injuries.”
“One man in another Toyota Camry Car was abducted by the gunmen. Our men have rescued seven men travelling in the commercial bus belonging to Young Shall Grow Motors Limited.When our correspondent visited the residence of Chief Fasoranti, the atmosphere was mournful and all efforts to reach the Afenifere leader was unsuccessful as the security man at that gate said visitors were not allowed.
“She was coming from Akure when the armed Fulani herdsmen came from the bush to attack her and other vehicles.“This is one death too many and a clear we-can-take-it-no-more death.”
