Miyetti Allah Condoles With Pa Fasoranti Over Daughter
Miyetti Allah Condoles With Pa Fasoranti Over Daughter
The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) on
Saturday extended its condolences to the family of Reuben Fasoranti, a
foremost Yoruba leader whose daughter was killed in an ambush on Friday
afternoon.
Funke Olakunrin was traveling to Lagos when gunmen ambushed her vehicle
and other travellers near Ore, Ondo State, killing her on the spot and
wounding her female aide.
Amidst a raging ethnically-charged commotion over the killing, Baba
Uthman, the national security official of the cattle breeders’ union, recognized the death as a huge loss to the nation and sympathized with
the Fasorantis.
He also called on irate Nigerians to allow security agencies enough time
to investigate the violence and withhold conclusions about the ethnic
identity of the killers in the interest of national unity.
“As we express sincere heartfelt condolence to the family of the
deceased, we are left in a deep shock on how a section of the media in
collaboration with elements in the country that are held bane (sic) on
using every opportunity available to them to fuel crisis as they
continue the negative profiling of Fulanis for their total annihilation
by jumping into a mischievous conclusion that she was killed by
herdsmen.
“We strongly condemn this very unprofessional, unpatriotic and callous
news reportage patterns that have been conscripted against our people by
the section of the media.
“We are calling on security agencies to swing into action, and unravel
the perpetrators to bring them to justice in the shortest possible
time,” Mr Uthman said.
