Olakunri was reportedly shot on Friday on the Kajola-Ore road in Ondo State by those the police described as “armed robbers.”

Mr Femi Adesina, the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, confirmed this development in a statement in Abuja on Saturday.

He stated that the President, in the telephone conversation, condoled with the grieving nonagenarian and wished him the comfort of God and the fortitude to bear the loss.
