By our reporter| The Ondo State government on Friday arraigned four men suspected to have killed Mrs. Funke Olakunrin, the daughter of the National Leader of Afenifere, Pa Reuben Fasoranti at an Akure Magistrate court.
They are Lawal Mazaje from the Felele area of Kogi State, Adamu Adamu from Jada area of Adamawa State, Mohammed Usman from Illela area of Sokoto State, and Auwal Abubakar from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State.
They were brought to the court by security operatives one week after the police announced their arrest in a statement by Police PPRO, Frank Mba.
According to Mba, the police established sufficient physical and forensic evidence linking the suspects to the killing of Mrs Funke Olakunrin.
He explained that the investigators later conducted an Identification Parade at the Federal SARS Headquarters in Lagos on April 8, which led to the positive and physical identification of three of the suspects by a survivor of the earlier crime.
The force spokesman revealed that the survivor gave a clear description of the roles each of the identified suspects played in the killing.
“At this point, the suspects capitulated and voluntarily offered a no-holds-barred confession on how Mrs. Funke Olakunrin was killed,” Mba said in a statement last week.
