| Late Mrs. Funke Olakunrin. |
The
classmates of Mrs. Funke Olakunrin, who was shot dead Friday by yet to be
identified assailants, have called on the government to fish out the killers of
the daughter of the leader of Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, Chief
Reuben Fasoranti.
Reacting
to the news of the death of their classmate, members of the 1973/77 Set of
Olivet Baptist High School, Olivet Heights, Oyo, condemned the dastardly murder
of Mrs. Olakunrin and called on the Federal Government to restore confidence in
the citizenry by promptly apprehending her killers, prosecuting them and
putting an end to the rising spate of unchecked killings and kidnap of innocent
citizens.
According
to a statement, jointly signed by the President and Secretary of the Olivet
73/77 Set Association, Mr. Tunde Sunmonu and Elder Iyimide Akinbohun,
respectively, the only thing which the President Muhammadu Buhari Administration
can do to restore confidence in the generality of Nigerians is to rise to the
occasion of checking insecurity in the country.
“The
news of the brutal killing of our dear classmate, Mrs. Funke Olakunrin (Nee
Fasoranti), came to us as a rude shock,” the statement says. “It is painful,
terribly devastating and saddening. This is one dastardly act too many by the
enemies of humanity, as well as the progress and the very existence of Nigeria.
“As
the daughter of Afenifere leader, Papa (Chief) Reverend Reuben Fasoranti, our
beloved principal at Olivet Baptist High School, Oyo, and, by extension, our
father, Funke was more than a classmate to us; she was our veritable sister.
“We
hereby call on the Federal Government, the Ondo State Government and the entire
security agencies to fish out the killers of our classmate, Mrs. Funke
Olakunrin, the daughter of the leader of Yoruba socio-cultural group,
Afenifere, Chief Reuben Fasoranti.
“Speaking
for the generality of Nigerians, we, the members of the 1973/77 Set of Olivet
Baptist High School, Olivet Heights, Oyo, call on Mr. President to urgently
take steps to restore confidence in the citizenry by promptly apprehending the
killers of Mrs. Olakunrin, prosecuting them and putting an end to the rising
spate of unchecked killings and kidnap of innocent citizens.”
The
Set Association commiserated with the family of Papa Fasoranti, the husband and
children of their departed classmate and the entire Afenifere family on the
unfortunate incident.
