The victims were identified as the Onimojo of Imojo in the Oye Local Government Area, Oba Olatunde Olusola, and the Elesun of Esun Ekiti in the Ikole Local Government Area, Oba Babatunde Ogunsakin. The incident occurred as they were returning from a function in Kogi State, and their vehicles encountered the suspected kidnappers who had laid an ambush on the road.

According to sources, the assailants pursued the Alara in an attempt to abduct him, while the two other monarchs sought to escape but were shot by the gunmen. Oba Elesun and Oba Onimojo succumbed to their injuries and died instantly, while Oba Alara managed to flee the scene.

The Chairman of the Ajoni Local Council Development Area, Micheal Ogungbemi, confirmed the tragic event, disclosing that the deceased monarchs’ bodies were recovered and taken to a mortuary. The council boss, who mobilized law enforcement agencies, including the Divisional Police Officer, Rapid Respond Squad, and Amotekun Corps, stated that the attackers were identified as bandits, as Oba Alara had witnessed their presence.

Ogungbemi recounted the sequence of events, noting that the monarchs were traveling in a car, with Oba Alara behind the wheel. When they encountered the gunmen, Oba Alara was pursued into the forest, while Oba Elesun and Oba Onimojo, attempting to escape, were shot by the bandits from behind.

As the community mourns the loss of its revered leaders, the incident highlights the increasing security challenges faced by citizens in the region. Meanwhile, civil society groups, under the banner of the Civil Society Joint Action Group, revealed alarming statistics of 17,469 Nigerians abducted during the administrations of Muhammadu Buhari and Bola Tinubu from 2019 to the present date.

A former security guard, 22-year-old Sodeinde Olajuwon Phillips, has confessed to his involvement in the murder of Olakitan Ibiyola Oyesiku, a retired Ogun State broadcaster widely known as Aunty Kitan. The 67-year-old Oyesiku, who had retired from Ogun State Television, was killed along with her current security guard, Pelumi Adetayo, at her residence in Agodo village, Kobape, Abeokuta.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The investigation into the deaths was spearheaded by the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Bode Ojajuni, who revealed that a crucial handwritten note found at the scene played a pivotal role in leading detectives to the suspects.

“We met her lying, facing upward to the sky, and we saw a paper, a note on her chest, and we equally found the same paper differently spread on the table in the living room,” Ojajuni stated. He further explained, “We discovered that the one that was met on her chest, the handwriting was totally different from the others that were spread.

The use of intelligence gathering and technical tracking enabled the police to recover the deceased’s Lexus RX 330 and subsequently arrest three suspects. They were identified as Olajuwon (the former employee), 27-year-old Sakirudeen Abdulraheem Ayoola, and 36-year-old Sobu Obafunsho.

A Tragic Motive: Money for Rent and Perceived Unfair Pay Upon questioning, Olajuwon provided a detailed and disturbing account of why the attack was orchestrated. He explained that a primary motive was the need for money to secure new housing for himself and Ayoola.

“My name is Sodeinde Olajuwon Phillips, and I am 22 years old. Myself, Shakirudeen and Sobu participated in the robbery and killing,” he confessed. He further elaborated, “We did it because she did not pay us well when we worked for her.

Describing the robbery, Olajuwon recounted: “Shakirudeen and I needed more money to rent an apartment. So, we wore masks, forced the security guard to ring the bell, and after gaining entry, the security guard was taken back to his post.

Following the attack, the group stole Oyesiku’s vehicle. Olajuwon detailed their escape, saying, “We left with her vehicle. Shakirudeen drove the car while we left together. We collected it from her before she died and drove to Onikolobo. I alighted under the bridge and went straight home, while Shakirudeen drove away with the vehicle.

The stolen Lexus RX 330 was later recovered by the police in proximity to Olajuwon’s residence. The investigators found that the vehicle’s license plates had been removed and concealed under one of the seats.
