After nine months of intensive investigation, the alleged killers of Ms Funke Olakunrin, the daughter of the leader of Afenifere, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, have reportedly been apprehended.
The National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin, announced the arrest on Monday, April 6.
According to Odumakin, the arrest was carried out by men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Nigerian Police.
Olakunrin was fatally shot by gunmen in July 2019 along the Ore axis of the Benin-Sagamu highway while traveling from Akure to Lagos.
Odumakin also revealed that three out of the four suspects arrested so far are from the northern part of the country.
In a statement, he said, “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.”
