Traditional Chief Shot Dead At Burial Ceremony In Ondo by bestofnollywood(op): 8:20pm On Oct 07

A burial ceremony in Ayeka, Okitipupa Local Government Area of Ondo State, turned tragic when a traditional high chief, High Chief Akinwalere Akinola, was shot dead while attending the funeral rites of a fellow traditional title holder.

Akinola was among community members gathered for the ceremony when a firearm was suddenly discharged, triggering panic among mourners.

Sources said the bullet struck Akinola in the head, killing him instantly.

“During the programme, a firearm was discharged. The bullet struck High Chief Akinwalere directly in the head, resulting in his instant death,” a source said.

The shooting threw the gathering into confusion as mourners reportedly fled the scene amid uncertainty over how the firearm was discharged.

Although preliminary accounts suggested that the shooting may have resulted from an accidental discharge, the circumstances surrounding the incident remained unclear as of press time.

The Ondo State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abayomi Jimoh, confirmed the incident and disclosed that one suspect had been arrested.

“One suspect arrested. Meanwhile, thorough investigation has commenced,” Jimoh said.

The police investigation is expected to determine how the firearm was discharged and establish the circumstances surrounding Akinola’s death.

The incident has plunged the Ayeka community into mourning, turning a ceremony intended to honour a deceased traditional title holder into another tragedy with the sudden death of a prominent chief.

Death is inevitable a reason no should fear death because everyone must die

Rather fear poverty because not everyone will be rich
That's why you should be angry with anyone causing you poverty ( Tinubu)
RIP Chief, though you are in the safest part of the country by online statistics

The world turning to chaos, or humans not obeying principle that would bring peace?

If people refuse to let go of cultural and religion beliefs which are not in any way beneficial to them, but can bring acrimony or injury. World will continue experience unnecessarily crises.

Ask them, what is single benefit of shooting gun, during burial rites, they would start stammering without able to say a single reason.

CIVILISATION AND MODERNISATION ARE SUPPOSED TO TAKE SOME CULTURAL AND RELIGION BELIEFS FROM US, BUT IN AFRICA WE MOST HOLD TIGHT TO IT, EVEN IF ITS BRINGING US BACKWARDS, SO FAR, THAT IS WHAT MY GRANDFATHER GAVE TO MY FATHER, OR WHAT MY RELIGION BOOKS SAY, I MUST STICK TO IT BY FIRE BY FORCE.

Bullet Proof/Helmet more reliable than Odeshi any time, any day.

Don't be ignorant, you believe it or not, Africans have a spiritual cleansing to ready one for fortification and one has to follow the necessary instructions as directed by the servants. It is real, tradition does not need your approval to keep existing. Countries like Congo, Senegal,Benin see this as normalcy.

Bullet Proof can be Tested/Verified.
You can rely on it to save your life.

But this your "Fortification" can never be Tested/Verified. It only exists in the minds of those who choose to believe it.
&Relying on something that can not be Tested/Verified to save your life amounts to gambling with your life, which is foolishness.
