Popular activist and the spokesman for Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin is dead.
Details of his death are still sketchy but a family source told newsmen that he died from COVID-19 complications.
According to People’s Gazette, the late activist had been on ventilator for two weeks at an undisclosed medical facility.
Odumakin played a key role in the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) that fought the regime of General Sani Abacha after the annulment of the June 12, 1993 election.
