Suspected Fulani Herdsmen Kills Sowore's Younger Brother
Olajide Sowore, the younger brother of Sahara Reporters editor, Omoyele, has been killed by suspected herders, according to the activist.
Omoyele Sowore said his brother was killed on Saturday morning while traveling from Benin to Ondo by armed men suspected to be herders by witnesses.
He was a pharmacy student at the Igbinedion University, according to Sowore, who described his brother’s death as a big loss for his family and friends.
On Saturday morning, a spokesman for the Akure police did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Peoples Gazette.
The development happened as southerners pushed for a regional ban on herdsmen’s activities. Ondo became the latest state to pass laws that prohibit open grazing on Thursday, when Governor Rotimi Akeredolu signed the measure into law.
