Femi Ashekun/

The burial of Olajide Sowore, younger brother of SaharaReporters publisher, Omoyele Sowore, could not hold this morning at Kiribo in Ese Odo local government area of Ondo State, as planned.

The delay was reportedly due to the insistence of the deceased’s family on conducting an independent autopsy on the corpse.

This development was confirmed by Omoyele Sowore in a Facebook post about one hour ago.
