SAN FRANCISCO, July 16, (THEWILL) – The police says it has arrested some suspects allegedly involved in the killing of Mrs Funke Olakunrin, daughter of the Afenifere leader, Reuben Fasoranti.
A spokesman for the Ondo State Police Command, Femi Joseph, confirmed this saying the suspects were arrested when a team of security operatives stormed the forests in the area near Ore in Ondo State.
The command’s spokesman, however, did not disclose the identities of those arrested.
He said investigations were still ongoing while suspects would be paraded as soon as possible.
THEWILL recalls that Olakunrin was killed by armed men on Friday last week while travelling along the Benin-Ore Expressway in south-western Nigeria.
The arrest of the suspects was made public after the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, gave assurance that Olakunrin’s killers would be apprehended soon.
Adamu had directed the deployment of a team of security operatives from the Force Headquarters in Ondo to work with police command there and ensure that Olakunrin’s killers were arrested and brought to book.
