The Ondo State High Court, Akure, on Friday, sentenced three persons to death for killing Mrs Funke Olakunrin, the daughter of the Afenifere leader, Chief Reuben Fasoranti.
The deceased was killed by the convicts along the Benin-Ore-Shagamu Expressway in the Ore Odigbo Local Government Area of the state in June 2019, on her way to Lagos State.
The convicts are Awalu Abubakar, Muhammed Shehu and Adamu Adamu.
Justice Williams Olamide found the trio guilty of involving in murder, kidnapping and armed robbery and sentenced them to death.
The court, however, discharged and acquitted the fourth defendant, Auwalu Abubakar, 25, for conspiracy.
