Obasanjo Reacts to Murder of Fasoranti's Daughter, Says Nigeria Diminished by Her Death via thisdaylive
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said that Nigeria has been diminished by the killing of the daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, late Mrs Funke Olakunri, by suspected herdsmen in Ondo state on Friday.
In a condolence letter to Pa Fasoranti, which was made available to newsmen by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, on Saturday in Abeokuta, Obasanjo tasked security agents to fish out the perpetrators of the heinous crime in the interest justice. “I must say, Nigeria, as a whole, is diminished by the manner of Funke’s death. We deplore this dastardly act and seize this opportunity to call on governments at all levels to leave no stone unturned in ensuring that our security agents vigorously pursue and find the perpetrators of such heinous crime and make them face the full weight of the law.
“As you mourn the tragic loss of our very dear Funke, please be assured of the sympathy and profound sorrow of many others like me who are saddened by the manner of her demise, especially as she still had a lot to contribute to the nation and her family to which she was highly devoted.
