Yinka Odumakin, National Publicity Secretary of the pan-Yoruba group, Afenifere, is dead, NewsSpecng has learnt.
He died at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital Covid Isolation Centre.
His wife, Mrs Joe Okei-Odumakin, confirmed this to the media on Saturday.
Married to a fellow rights activist, Joe, in 1997, Odumakin’s voice was heard through the dark years of military despotism.
As Afenifere spokesman, Odumakin spoke tenaciously for the rights of the Yoruba and the people of the South-West geopolitical zone.
Just before his death, he consistently condemned the activities of criminal Fulani herdsmen, who have been accused of farmland destruction, rape, killings and abductions in the South-West.
