A man identified as Bello Olatunji has been accused of urinating openly in a neighbour's compound and beating up a female neighbour, Adefunke Olanrewaju for complaining about it, in Ogun State.

The incident happened on May 25, 2021, at 3, Olanrewaju Avenue, Peaceland Estate, Ifesowapo, Lambe area of the state

But since the incident was reported at the Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development and Ajuwon Police Station, SaharaReporters learnt that traditional chiefs in the community have been using their influence to shield the suspect from facing justice, describing their clique as well connected.

It was learnt that the Iyaloja of the community even went to the Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development after the matter was reported there, to truncate the course of justice.

"We even reported to Ministry of Woman Affairs and Social Development in Abeokuta, the Iyaloja still went there again and said there is nothing we can do about the assault," Adefunke said.

Narrating the event, Adefunke said, "I was in my compound around 8 am when I saw a man, Bello Olatunji, from a welding workshop beside my house urinating in my compound, so I approached to caution him.

"He started hurling abuses at me. I rebuked him for that and was about to go back to the water I was fetching when he slapped me and started punching me. He punched me several times. Before people could intervene, my nose had started bleeding. I reported the matter at Ajuwon Police Station and was referred to the hospital for first aid treatment and he footed the N4,500 bill.


"Later, my dad called to tell me to withdraw the case because the landlords in our estate had been calling and begging him to drop the case. So, I did. My dad did that because he had not seen my pictures. I later had to send a petition letter to the Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta days after when he started bragging about that he intentionally beat me up because I was too proud.

"I was invited to Abeokuta last week and an invitation letter was sent to him too. He then reported himself to the Baale's palace so they could beg me. I was invited to a meeting at the Baale's palace and the chiefs begged me to withdraw the case so we could settle it internally in the area and that he would foot the medical bills. I explained to them that I couldn't and why told them why. I said he should appear in Abeokuta on the given date and time.

"But one of the chiefs, the Iyaloja, said no police could arrest him if he did not appear. She said I should take the case to court if that's what I wanted. She said they have connections in Abeokuta and that I would be the one to get tired after spending unnecessary cash on transport fare and that he wouldn't even appear. Truly he didn't go to Abeokuta; they are already trying to use their influence.

"One of the chiefs said if it's court case I want, I'll meet them there, even if up to the Supreme Court. The chiefs, the man, and his wife have been spreading false information about me that I have had an ailment since I was a kid that makes me bleed from the nose.

"They said he only slapped me but that I was trying to implicate him, which is a very big lie. I've been in the area for close to 20 years and I had never had issues with anyone. Everyone knows I've always been peaceful all these years. I really wish to get justice because I've not able to work since the incident happened, I've been staying indoors."


When called for his reaction, Olatunji said he had not honoured the invitation of the women affairs and social development ministry because he was ill.

"But I will be there tomorrow. I have been unable to go there because I have been ill," he said in Yoruba.

Reacting to the alleged move by the chiefs in the community to shield him from facing justice, he said, "No, it is a lie. The chiefs are trying to settle the matter because the incident happened in the community and they don't want any trouble. They are begging her and have told her that whatever she needs, they will give her. But she insists that she wants to take the matter to court. Everyone has been begging her, but she said she would take it to court.

"I was urinating and initially, I didn't know she was talking to me. She started saying the place was not a toilet. Then when I realised she was talking to me, she asked if I was blind for not seeing the place was not a toilet and deaf for not replying her. Then she moved closer to me and slapped me.

"So I said 'you slapped me because you were talking to me, and I didn't hear you'. That was how the fight started. My wristwatch hit her in the nose; that was why her nose was bleeding. The blood was coming from her nostrils; it was not because I punched her. The chiefs are not trying to shield me; I will go to the ministry tomorrow."

I wasn't there, God knows who is not saying the truth.

Even after footing the hospital bills I'm afraid there's one feministic NGO behind this woman. Some females are troublesome & can push one to the wall. In all, we should learn to be patient with the gender.

Sapphire will not like this news. Ogun state matter tire me personally.

So if someone cuts off your leg, so far as they pay you, it's okay?

Besides, read it again. The man did not pay anything. Rather, he's trying to change the narrative by sating she slapped him first.

Na people like you dey encourage death of women at the hands of their husbands. Please change that your handle to SimplyBullshit

May you not have someone like me as a brother or sister. If you do, you would be running away from troubles knowing well that you (in reality) have no one to give you helping hands in fight. There are better things you can bring home other than troubles.

Need you speak with any of my brother or sister? They will tell you na OYO you dey. In my family, we avoid troubles like one would avoid plagues.

Sometimes people can be unlucky. People do fall victim to unpleasant circumstances.
Some people are out there to take advantage of weaker or vulnerable ones. This is why we have to be our brothers' and sisters' keeper.
A case like this one should depend on the reputation of the complainant. According to her, she has been living in that neighborhood for almost 20yrs. Now other locals will definitely know one or two about her- maybe she has a habit of looking for trouble or she's an easy goer.
Avoiding troubles do not necessarily mean you can't get into it. Shit happens. In fact, bad things happen to good people too.
Don't be irresponsible abeg.

Having gone through some of your prev posts, I can see you have always been abusive & aggressive online. May God give you some joy.

I need you to know that her father & the chiefs aren't stupid for seeking peace. Is every one of them irresponsible as well? Like Yorubas would say, "We don't return from court & still be friends". Don't quote me again, please. I can't spend all day crying over another's headache.
