In a harrowing narrative from the community of Okuama in Delta State, Evelyn Edjekota recounted a horrifying ordeal where gunmen, arriving in four boats from the Bomadi side, unleashed a deadly attack on both Nigerian soldiers and innocent villagers..,…..READ ALSO
Edjekota, a trader and farmer, shared her account during an interview with Vanguard, shedding light on the incident that resulted in the loss of lives, including soldiers, in Delta State.
Describing the events of that fateful day, Edjekota recalled the sense of fear and confusion that gripped the community as armed individuals in military attire descended upon them. Despite the men of the village being away at the farms, many women and children found themselves facing the terrifying presence of armed intruders.
The situation escalated when the armed individuals expressed their intention to apprehend the village chairman and other leaders. In a desperate attempt to protect their leaders, Edjekota and other women bravely resisted, only to be met with threats of violence. Tragically, their resistance was met with gunfire, resulting in the loss of numerous lives.
As chaos ensued, additional boats arrived from the Bomadi axis of the river, intensifying the onslaught on the helpless villagers and even targeting the army stationed at the jetty. With no option but to flee for safety, Edjekota and her family sought refuge in the bush, where they have endured unimaginable suffering.
Living in the wilderness, deprived of basic necessities, Edjekota and her family struggle to survive on wild fruits and polluted water. Their plight is compounded by the illness of one of her children, for whom medical assistance is inaccessible in their current environment.
Meanwhile, the presence of the army in the community has brought further devastation, with homes destroyed and residents displaced. Edjekota’s plea is simple yet poignant: for the soldiers to leave so that the community may have a chance to rebuild and return to a semblance of normalcy.
As she awaits word from Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Edjekota’s desperate hope is to be reunited with her missing loved ones and to escape the nightmare of living in the bush, where the threat of violence and hardship looms large.

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.
