Rights activist and publisher of SaharaReporters, Omoyele Sowore, has shared photos of the bullet-riddled car in which his younger brother, Olajide, was shot dead by suspected herdsmen in Okada, Edo State, this morning.
Sowore shared the photos on Facebook with the caption, “Pictures showing bullet-ridden vehicle driven by my little brother, Jide Sowore, when he was murdered on Ore-Benin Highway this morning on his way to Benin City from school where he was studying Pharmacy at Igbinedion University in Okada!”
The activist had broken the news of his brother’s killing in an earlier post on Facebook.
The post reads, “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 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!”
