Omoyele Sowore Loses Brother In Gunmen Attack
Sahara Reporters co-publisher and human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, has reportedly lost his immediate younger brother, Olajide to deadly attack by unknown gunmen in Edo State.
Reports said Olajide, a Pharmacy student of Igbinedion University, Okada, was killed in a tragic incident that took place on Saturday morning, September 4, 2021 near the sleepy town on the outskirts of Benin, the State capital.
Sowore, who confirmed the unfortunate occurrence in a Facebook post on Saturday, said his brother was killed by either suspected herdsmen or kidnappers.
The activist said in his poetic post: “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 sate where he is studying Pharmacy.
“They snuffed out the life of yet another real human being! Rest In Power, Dr. Mamiye!”
“This act in itself will not delay their day of justice. 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, Mr. Sunshine Foundation who made everyone happy. You, the boy who snuck out his older ones to parties, taking all the blames when our disciplinarian father found out.
“You, the guy who was an out-of-the-box thinker who decided school wasn’t for you and created you own genre of music and then turned around to go to school after you almost turned 50!”
“You lived your life so that everyone could be alright but now assassinated by everything that’s not alright! Saddest day yet!”, Sowore said
