The younger brother of Sahara Reporters’ publisher Omoyele Sowore, Olajide, has been killed by unknown gunmen on Saturday.
The activist said in a statement that his brother was killed by armed men suspected by witnesses to be herdsmen while traveling between Benin and Ondo on Saturday morning.
He was studying pharmacy at Igbinedion University, Sowore said, describing his brother’s loss as a huge one for his family and friends.
Sowore described his late brother as selfless and industrious, saying his demise would leave a void in the prominent Ondo family.
“You lived your life so that everyone could be alright but now assassinated by everything that’s not alright!” the publisher said.
