Following nine
months of intensive investigation, the alleged killers of Mrs. Funke Olakunrin,
the daughter of the leader of Afenifere, Pa Reuben Fasoranti have been
reportedly apprehended.
The National
Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin disclosed this on Monday.
According to
Odumakin in a statement issued, he said that the arrest was effected by men of
the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Nigerian Police.
Recall that late
Olakunrin was shot dead by gunmen while on her way from Akure to Lagos within
the Ore axis of the Benin-Sagamu highway in July 2020.
Odumakin added that
three out of the four suspects arrested so far are from the northern part of
the country.
The statement read,
“They are said to have made useful confessions to the police. We commend the
dedicated officers who made the arrest just as we wait for a thorough
investigation to follow.
“We have resolved to
encourage the police to do their job properly. We appreciate all Nigerians who
have encouraged our 94-year-old Leader in this troubling season. It is our
prayer that criminals will not go unpunished again in our country.”
Meanwhile, when
contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, of the Ondo Police
Command, ASP Tee-Leo Ikoro, said he was not aware of the development.
