Controversy trails arrest of Fasoranti’s Daughter’s killers

The Pan Yoruba Socio political group, Afenifere and the Nigeria Police on Monday failed to agree over the arrest of the suspected killers of Funke Olakunrin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Chief Reuben Fasoranti by men of the police.

The Spokesman of Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin on Monday in a statement said operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS had arrested those who murdered Funke nine months ago along Ore-Ijebu ode expressway.

Odumakin says  “After nine  months after she was brutally murdered , the SARS in Ondo state has arrested four suspects in the killing of Mrs Funke Olakunrin, the daughter of our Leader Chief R. F Fasoranti.

Three out of the four suspects arrested  so far are  from the northern part of the country.

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.”

The account of Odumakin was however debunked by the Police Public Relations officer (PPRO) of the Ondo Police Command, Mr. Leo Tee Ikoro.

Ikoro pointed out that the arrest of suspected killers of Funke Olakunrin was fabricated by Afenifere.

Ikoro said, “there is nothing like that to my knowledge. I just called the Commander of SARS in the state and he said there was nothing like that.

“You are just informing me. There was no signal yet from the Force Headquarters on the arrest of the killers.”

When told that the alleged killers were arrested in the state by operatives of SARS, he said: “That is not true.”
