Ondo Prince Beaten To Death During Funeral
An Akure Prinnce, Adesoji Adesida has been reportedly beaten to death by a member of the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC), Rafiu Akinwale.
According to Daily Trust, the incident occurred at a funeral held at the DOME, an international event and cultural centre in Akure, the Ondo State capital.
