Evangelist Olaniyi Pirisola Murdered In Ilutitun Okitipupa Ondo While Returning From Night Vigil

“Cowards die many times before their deaths: The
valiant never taste of death but once”. William
Shakespeare
Darkness fell on Ilutitun Osooro in the wake of 2nd
September, 2016 when the former Okitipupa Local
Government Chairman, Honorable Olaniyi Pirisola, was
assassinated by suspected hired killers in his country
home while return from an overnight prayers. Elders were
shocked, Youths grieved and children panicked.
A Prophet, Shepherd, farmer and politician, Marvelous,
as fondly called by friends, will forever be remembered
as a brave warrior that fought gallantly dreaded political
battles.
Throughout his long political voyage, he has constantly
been the most loved, and most implicitly followed by
friends, and the most dreaded by opponents, of all living
Ilutitun politicians.
In 2011, he was a candidate for the House of
Representatives in the Labour party primaries.
He was an active and outspoken member of the Labour
party. In recent years he had been a central member of
the People Democratic Party in Okitipupa Local
Government.
Ilutitun Osooro will always remember him as a grassroot
politician and a religious leader with a difference.
Born on 3rd January, 1959, Pirisola is survived by wives
and children.
