A Southwest group, Yoruba Youth
Socio-cultural Association (YYSA), has expressed shock over the killing of Mrs.
Funke Olakunrin, daughter of Afenifere Chairman, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, by
persons suspected to be herdsmen in Ondo State.
In a statement signed by its
National President, Olalekan Hammed, the group gave the Miyetti Allah Cattle
Breeders Association (MACBAN) a three-day ultimatum to fish out the
perpetrators of the nefarious act.
The
murder of the daughter of Pa Fasoranti‘s
daughter was confirmed by Afenifere’s spokesman, Mr. Yinka Odumakin in a
statement.
He said 58-year-old Mrs.
Olakunrin was killed by persons suspected to be herdsmen while heading to Ore
Junction from Akure, Ondo State, where she was attacked and shot by her
attackers.
But the Ondo state police command
refuted Odumakin’s claim, saying it was an armed robbery attack.
However, the YYSA said it will
convene an emergency meeting on Saturday (today) to discuss next line of action
after the ultimatum to MACBAN elapses.
The statement reads: “We receive
the news of the sudden death of Mrs. Olakunrin with great shock.
“We want the federal government
to order immediate investigation on the matter because the culprits should not
go unpunished.
“We also give the so-called
Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN), Ondo State chapter, three
days to fish out the suspected killers of Mrs. Olakunrin.
“We are having an emergency
meeting tomorrow (today) in Ibadan to discuss the next line of action.”
Mrs. Olakunrin is the second
child of 94-year-old Fasoranti to die, the elder statesman having also lost a
daughter, Bunmi, some years ago.
