[size=15pt]Women, youths hold Ekiti monarch hostage over R@pe[/size]

From BOLU-OLU ESHO, Ado-Ekiti

Wednesday, February 2, 2011




Business activities were yesterday grounded as angry women and youths in Igede-Ekiti held hostage the traditional ruler, Oba James Aladesuru, the Onigede of Igede, and his chiefs over the alleged despoiling and killing of the wife of a cleric, Mrs. Taiwo Oluwole.

Women and youths trooped to the streets of the community, protesting the suspected despoiling and killing of the late Taiwo, a middle-aged woman, who was the wife of pastor-in-charge of the Zion Baptist Church in Age Quarters in the community. They made bonfire and barricaded the roads, forcing motorists to make a detour.
Pastor Oluwole had gone to farm with his late wife on Saturday to work while the wife was to pack some cassava pellets spread on rocks to dry.

After she finished packing the pellets, she bade her husband goodbye and headed back to town.
When her husband arrived at home in the evening, he realised that his wife had not returned. He thereafter raised the alarm.
On Sunday morning, after constituting a search team, Mrs. Taiwo was found stone dead on a farmstead at Ule-Ona, a suburb of Aramoko Ekiti.

The remains of the wife of the pastor, who was described as gentle and homely, was brought to town, spaing off protest,which became full blown on yesterday.
The bonfire set at the frontage of the monarch’s palace was ferocious enough to roast a big cow as they held hostage the monarch and his chiefs, who were in a meeting.

The irate women and youths were calling on the monarch to come out to address them and fish out the killers of the victim.
There were suspicions that Taiwo was first violated by her assailants before she was strangulated as the search party revealed that there was blood stain in her private part when she was found.

Her skirt was said to have been tied round her neck to give the impression that she committed suicide.
The protesters, who were in their hundreds, were said to have taken to the streets to vent their pent-up anger caused by series of unresolved criminal cases in the community in the recent past.

No property was destroyed as police in the town were led by the Divisional Police Officer, Mr. Raheem Adejumo, to put the situation under control.
A youth leader, Mr. Ayo Akintola, revealed to newsmen that they went to the streets, protesting to check recurrence of criminal incidents on Ile Ona Road, which is notorious for harbouring criminals.

Akintola disclosed that the victim and her husband went to farm together on Saturday but later parted ways, hoping to meet later in the day at home.
“But when the wife did not come back, an alarm was raised, which led to combing of everywhere on Saturday without success. “Surprisingly, on Sunday, we found the woman’s lifeless body on Ile Ona Road, a place we had searched the previous day. Her dress and skirt had been removed. Her body was intact, except for blood coming out of her private part. I cannot say about that whether she was violated or anything removed from her private part. But blood was oozing out from there,” he said.

Akintola revealed that a motorbike was snatched on the same road on Saturday and another one the following day. He wanted that the monarch to move urgently to expose those behind the dastardly acts, adding that two men were killed in the area not long ago.
Lamenting the killing of Mrs. Taiwo, he said the community was shocked by the development, saying “nobody knows whose turn the murder will be next. The women are afraid to go to farm since Saturday, youths are afraid to ply the road. All these have impacts on business in the town.”
Oba Aladesuru disclosed that with his chiefs, he had been making efforts to ensure that the Police get fish out the perpetrators of the crime.

Some Obas of Ekiti have no respect when it comes to that sector.
Soon enough, the people will get rid of Ekiti monarchy.
