Okedayo was kidnapped by gunmen, described as herdsmen, at Akoko Junction on the Igara-Auchi Road, together with his driver on their way to Edo State
The Herdsmen terrorism in Nigeria has lasted because the victims are typically the ordinary people. Consider, for instance, two recent killings, in which the victims happened to be an ordinary man of God and a daughter of a prominent politician.
Afenifere stated this on Sunday in a statement by its spokesman, Yinka Odumakin
The death of Olufunke Olakunrin, the daughter of Afenifere chieftain, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, came as a shock to many Nigerians at a time the polity of the nation is on the heat. There are different sides to the views of many, with the likely insinuation that could be out of proportion due to politics and unethical sensitisation. However, we need ask ourselves some candid questions. How many people had faced such sudden deaths without a single blink by some of our leaders? How many had been under siege and incessant attacks leaving hundreds dead, without recourse to their families? How many are in the deck of yet unwanted sojourn in the hands of these kidnappers and all we hear is “nothing of such exists.” The late Mrs. Olakunrin’s death became a glaring case of the unsolicited killings of innocent victims by these bigots who parade themselves as herdsmen.
