Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola


Mr. Jonathan Adebisi Ogundere, who was the oldest lawyer in the team, was abducted from his country home in Oyan, Odo Otin Local Government Area by some people, who drove him to a village called Igbotele and set him ablaze.

The assailants were said to have asked him to give them some documents, before setting him ablaze. They left him burning in the bush, where he was discovered and taken to the state hospital, Osogbo. He died around 3pm on Thursday.

The late Ogundere was called to the Bar in 1970 and was in charge of the secretariat of the legal team of the Osun State governor, in the on-going election litigation.

The Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on the police and other law enforcement agencies to get to the root of the matter. In a statement by the state chairman, Alhaji Ademola Rasaq, the PDP charged the police to do a thorough job on the dastardly act, which he said smacked of dangerous politics. While commiserating with the family, the PDP vowed that it would do everything within the law to get justice in the matter.

Like a curse upon the houses of the servants of darkness it rises almost imperceptibly. They that sowed seeds of death will reap hopelessness and despair. In their unclothedness, they will face the frailty of deceit in their desire to loot us clean. Natural justice will always be lurking. We continue to weep for hearts broken by incessant assassinations which stems from unquenchable avarice among our politicians. For all its worth, natural justice must prevail.
