Saheed Eluyara was reportedly murdered on the day of his first wedding anniversary

According to reports, a young man identified as Saheed Eluyara, was murdered one year after marrying his wife Funke. The couple were due to celebrate their first wedding anniversary after getting married on December 15, 2015, but death came knocking without warning.

37-year-old Saheed, a newspaper agent, had woken up on December 15, 2016, with plans of spending the day celebrating with his wife whom he had dated for 5 years before marrying and their 7-month-old twins before tragedy struck, as he was killed by suspected cultists who were fighting at Orogba, Ilesa, Osun state.

Confirming the incident, his younger brother identified as Posi, told Saturday Sun:

“The day of the wedding was his best day, in his entire life, my brother was a jovial person, but that day was special. He danced and was happy. Since the day he got married, he would always advise me that marriage is good and that I should go and get a wife. He said that the joy of seeing his children cry for his attention or the peace of having a good wife and the joy of not having to be stressed to make food after the day’s work were the reasons he loved marriage. His wife has never complained.”

Mourning the death of her husband, Funke who kept recounting all the plans she had made with Saheed, kept shouting:

“Who will train my children? You promised that Taye (boy) will be a doctor and Kehinde (girl) will be a lawyer and we will grow old together.”

Posi also narrated what happened on the unfortunate day his brother was murdered. He said:

“On that day he was killed, it was his one year anniversary (sic), he had already told his wife to dress up the twins that they were going to celebrate after he was done with the day’s work. He was a very lovely and jovial person. His smile was contagious. He did not like to cheat people. He was a philanthropist by default. He rendered help even when it was to his own disadvantage. He was an easy-going person. His routine was from work to mosque then home. He had no enemies in the state.
