An Igbo socio-political pressure group, Nzuko Umunna has lamented the killing of Mrs. Funke Olakunrin, daughter of nonagenarian and Afenifere Leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti.

Olakunrin was reportedly killed by some hoodlums, suspected to be Fulani herdsmen, along Ore-Shagamu expressway in Odigbo Local Government Area, Ondo state, last Friday.

A statement jointly signed by the groups General Secretary, Mr Paschal Mbanefo and Co-ordinator, Mr Ngozi Odumuko commiserated with Fasoranti over the loss.

The group urged President Muhammadu Buhari to take immediate steps to arrest Nigeria’s descent to lawlessness and speedily bring the perpetrators to justice.

According to the Igbo group, if the current spate of insecurity is not tackled with the decisiveness it deserves, the country risks being plunged into a cycle of violence.

The statement read, “We received with shock the killing of Mrs. Funke Olakunrin, daughter of nonagenarian and Afenifere Leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti by suspected herdsmen.

“We commiserate with Pa Fasoranti over this tragic incident. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and the entire Yoruba nation. It is instructive that even at a ripe old age, Pa Fasoranti is still at the barricades battling for the soul of Nigeria. It is therefore very ironic and troubling that the 94-year-old elder statesman is made to suffer this heartbreak in his old age. No Nigerian deserves to go through this.
