The Inspector-General of Police Special Forces and policemen from the Ondo State Command have moved into the state government reserve with the purpose of hunting for herdsmen, who allegedly killed Mrs Funke Olakunrin, a daughter of the Afenifere leader, Chief Reuben Fasoranti.
The Ondo State Police Command Public Relations Officer, Mr Femi Joseph, who gave this indication in an interview with one of our correspondents in Akure on Sunday, said policemen had been deployed in the state government forest, which the killer herdsmen had converted into their camp.
The police said this on Sunday just as Afenifere, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo and some Middle Belt groups said President Muhammadu Buhari was not showing commitment to security in the South and the Middle Belt.
Olakunrin was killed on Friday at Kajola village in the Odigbo Local Government Area of Ondo State when gunmen ambushed vehicles along the Ore-Sagamu Expressway.
Assuring Nigerians that killers of Olakunrin would be fished out, Joseph said, “We are working with the IGP team. The more we are, the more successful we are. As I am talking to you now, our teams are in the bush and we have made some arrests, but we can’t disclose the number because we are still carrying out some investigations.
