Sowore shot dead
Omoyele Sowore, former presidential aspirant and publisher of Sahara Reporters, has lots his younger brother Olajide to kidnappers.
The younger Sowore was shot dead Thursday around Edo while returning from Igbinedion University, according to the publisher in a Facebook post on Saturday.
“My immediate younger brother, Olajide Sowore was today shot and killed near Okada in Edo state by reportedly herdsmen kidnappers on his way from Igbinedion University in Edo State where he is studying Pharmacy.
“They snuffed out the life of yet another real human being.
“I traveled widely with you and our father as a little kid. You were the most loved robust kid I ever first knew. You, Mr. Magnet had no enemy!
“You lived your life so that everyone could be alright but now you are assassinated by everything that’s not alright! Saddest day yet. Rest on brother till we meet again,” he wrote.
Kidnappers, largely Fulani herdsmen, have been terrorizing the entire nation, and citizens now live in fear.
