The Senate condoled with the family of Afenifere leader and elder statesman, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, over the murder of his daughter, Funke Olakunrin, along akure-Ore road, in Ondo state.

Governor Makinde, in statement signed by his chief press secretary, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, described the dastardly act as shocking, saddening and despicable, adding that the security agencies must get to the roots of the incident.

The Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams, says the Yoruba ethnic group should not be blamed if it decides to react to the recent killings in the region.

The deceased, Mrs Funke Olakunrin, who was killed in Ore, Ondo state, is the daughter of the respected Chief Reuben Fasoranti, a prominent leader in the foremost Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere.

The Aare Ona-kakanfo of Yoruba land, Iba Gani Adams, has said that the Rural Grazing Area (RUGA) policy of the federal government would not address the insecurity challenges currently facing the country.

Public affairs analyst, Ben Abdul, writes on the recent controversy occasioned by some comments allegedly made by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and the reaction to the said comments by Yoruba socio-cultural organization, Afenifere.
