When Kola Olawuyi died in 2007 at the age of 44, a lot of good people shed tears.
The man once ruled the airwaves with his Iriri Aye radio program that I grew up to.

When it's 8pm on Fridays in the South West, it's normal to see a lot of people huddled up around radio sets in street corners, homes and electricians' workshops as they listened to Kola Olawuyi's program. It was a weekly ritual we grew up to.

Kola Olawuyi was larger than life. The number of cases he tracked down and brought to life have not been done by anyone else around here since his death. No one has had that kind of confidence since. Reverend King's case was brought to light by him. Churches whose owners buried people alive in their buildings as rituals to draw crowd.

A lot of cases of abused children and people claiming to be witches to hurt others. Aja ile (underground killing houses) stories where kidnappers' dens were raided by him and brought to light.

Blood ritual killings and ritualists in the south west. Heck, there was a woman called Malaika that said she was God and created everyone and could do what she liked with anyone until Kola Olawuyi dragged her to light, and more.

The man was fearless and appeared unstoppable. Listening to him was scary and exciting. On one hand you admired his courage. On the other, you feared for his life. It wasn't surprising then that when he died, a lot of people's default setting was "Oh, they got him finally." Perhaps even he had that thought at the back of his mind, hence, at the end of every show, he'd always say: "Aa ma be obe nii besu, atelese a bena wo. Eni ba ni a ma bo nikan lawa o ni de ba nle" (loosely translated we'll always go out to work. It's those that don't want us to return that we won't meet when we return). His life was a mystery too. Even though he was a member of the Redeemed Church, the number of occultic cases and ritual killers he took on and exposed made people believe he was occultic himself.

When news of his death broke, the default reaction from most people was that the witches and ritualists he exposed finally got him and killed him. Some said he cut a tree around his house after he was warned not to, hence his death. Others said some occultic groups that he belonged to even cut off his head after his death because he belonged to them.

In the end, to lay all of that to rest, his family had to have an open burial and open casket for the 44-year old so everyone could see that he died of natural causes and wasn't mutilated or anything.

But again, he rode the mystery angle really hard too while he was alive. Maybe he even stoked it.

Whenever it was 8pm on Fridays and you heard Hubert Ogunde's "Sigba Awo" (open the occultic calabash) start playing on Kola Olawuyi's Iriri Aye program, you knew it was going to be a tough night.

Continue to rest in peace.

Those two can never be replaced

Baba Agbonyin tried to replicate Gbenga Adeboye but he could not sustain it for long

The dude was really an Akanda Eda as he referred to himself..

Real Legends, both men..

May they continue to rest on.

Nigerians eh, from what I saw on this thread it's like many in the community were benefiting from the crimes he was trying to expose.

See why Nigerians are the architect of their own problems.

So many investigative journalists have dropped news that would ordinarily shake a nation but Nigerians don't care. Very useless set of people.

Goodnewsforlife:
u just don’t know anything

Do u care to know what killed him?

He mentioned it loud n clear that there’s a kidnappers den in sagamu n said he was on a mission to unravel it n also said another one is in Ibadan, that was d genesis of his problem because he used to say it live that many people are warning him not to say anything about it


Years later after he died we heard about soka in Ibadan, till today Jonathan gave an order from above to bring d case to abj n since then nobody heard anything

We never see person wen go tell us d sagamu own but in your mind u believe all those things were lies

I guess u don’t know about S.T soap that he exposed then?

Many of u self

See why Nigerians deserve what they get? grin

Yea, both legendary.
Nice to know Kola Olawuyi was a believer. Was wondering how he was able to confront such depth of devilry and witchcraft with dark powers cos a house divided within itself cannot stand.
He should have probably made his Christian side known. I hope he makes paradise.

It is the wickedness that goes on in secret that has stagnated the growth and development of this nation. Believe me when I say most politicians and these top people in the society you hear about are deeply involved in these kinds of evils that is why they have covered the entire nation in a perpetual cloud of darkness.
A whole lot of evil is going to on around us in secret. Only the spiritually alert can discern this. May God have mercy on us all.

A similar presenter took over from him, I can`t remember the name. he also had a bushy moustache as well. I think this genre of programmes still runs but they are no longer as popular.

Funfact: Yinka Ayefele worked for him.

Some of the stories were lies
Some were medical situations which the poor and illiterate took for some "ofa" or "afise"
Some were simply exaggerated to give a sense of mysticism
However, he took his audience spellbound and made them believe more in spiritismand occultism than before

He was also on TV. His show was like Agbara nla of Mount Zion. Every Sunday we don't miss it. I used to believe he was an old man until I was told that he wore make up to make him look old. He also usually dress like an occurtic person using Oja.

Wow, no wonder ST soap that was the most popular soap then did not stand the test of time.

How time flies..... His programs are always terrific.

He exposed alot of popular rich men. Infact, he exposed one of the company owner who sponsored the program. I think ST soap or so.(can't really remember).

My granny was a big fan of the show that calls in regularly when the phone lines are open for listeners views and comments. She's been following the program right from onset on radio (radio Lagos 107.5) till when it started airing on tv (galaxy TV).

Continue to rest on great man.
He didn't expose ST SOAP owner. He only presented the news of ST's arrest then, after a ritual killer mentioned him as the buyer of the EYES that they removed from their victim's body.

I followed the news back to back then because ST was my cousin's good friend then in Ijebu ode, and ST SOAP was a very popular soap too.

Kola Olawuyi was a great radio presenter though. But he didn't expose Rev King or ST. He only presented their cases that was trending news then just like Jagaboss of Wazobia Onitsha and other presenters are doing today. Just that he would always present tough and uncommon cases.

May his soul continue to rest where it belongs.
