Olajide Sowore buried

Olajide Sowore, younger brother of publisher of Sahara Reporters Omoyele Sowore, has been buried in the Kiribo area of Ondo State.

His remains were buried on Thursday in the presence of his wife, four kids, family members, friends and associates.

In a Facebook post, the older Sowore shared photos of the burial with the caption, “My kid brother Olajide Sowore who was brutally murdered by yet-to-be-identified gunmen reportedly referred to as herdsmen/kidnappers on Ore-Benin Road was finally laid to rest today at Kiribo!”

Some burial attendants were seen wearing branded ‘Buhari Must Go’ shirts.

The deceased was a pharmacy student at the Igbinedion University in the Okada area of Edo State. He was returning from school when he was shot dead by suspected herdsmen around 6am on Saturday along the Lagos-Benin Expressway.

The police confirmed Sowore was killed by kidnappers who also took five persons captive.
