By Eniola Akinkuotu, Abuja
Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere, says it has received information that Mrs. Funke Olakunrin, daughter of Afenifere chairman, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, has been killed by persons suspected to be herdsmen.
The spokesman for Afenifere, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, said this in a terse message sent to The PUNCH on Friday.
According to Odumakin, the 58-year-old woman was heading to Ore Junction from Akure, Ondo State, when she was attacked and shot by the herdsmen.
He said, βWe have confirmed the death of Mrs. Funke Olakunrin (58), daughter of our leader, Chief Fasoranti.
βEyewitness accounts say she died of gunshots from Fulani herdsmen who shot her at Ore junction in Ondo State earlier today.
βShe was coming from Akure when the armed Fulani herdsmen came from the bush to attack her and other vehicles.
βHer domestic staff in the car with her also sustained gunshots.
βThis is one death too many and a clear we-can-take-it-no-more death.β
Olufunke is the second child of 94-year-old Fasoranti to die. The elder statesman had also lost a daughter, Bunmi, some years ago.
