*Ondo PDP mourns
Public Relations Officer of Elizade University, Ilara-Mokin in Ondo State, Mr. Olubunmi Afuye, was yesterday gunned down by suspected armed robbers after dispossessing him.
The incident reportedly took place in the outskirts of Ilara-Mokin in Ifedore Local Government area.
Disclosing this in a statement, the Ondo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) condemned the act and tasked the state’s police command to track his killers.
In the statement by its state publicity secretary, Mr. Kennedy Peretei, the PDP stated, “The news of the gruesome murder of Olubunmi Afuye by armed robbers in Ilara-mokin, Ifedore Local Government area, came as a very rude shock.
“The media world has lost a rare gem, a promising star, extinguished at his prime.
“The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Ondo State chapter, commiserates with his wife, children, members of his extended family, and indeed the Ondo State Council of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ). It is such an irreparable loss.
“Our party wishes to urge the security agencies, especially the Commissioner of Police, Ondo State Command, to fish out the criminals who committed this dastardly act and bring them to book without delay.
“Olubunmi Afuye was a young man that warmed himself to the hearts of many, majority of whom may not even know him in person. He was a darling of the Orange F.M before he joined Elizade University, Ilara-Mokin as Public Relations Officer.
“May God Almighty, grant all those he left behind the fortitude to bear this loss”.
