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.

His daughter did intership where i was working. When i saw the babe fear catch me i no go lie

Fear, why?

No one can step into his shoes again, I grew up listening to his iriri aye programs, it's one of a kind, the way he talks, sound or exclamate like he's inside your room. Most times people cry and fear of this world Aye.

It required a certain degree of will power to ignore this program even as people flocked to it back in the day. I still detest how Africans instantly gravitate towards the superstitious and paranormal. This man's program was almost religion to some. It was crazy and just showed how shallow, fearful and spiritually weak most Nigerians are - even those who profess to have a big God that's always on their side.

Lol..his wife is a lecturer sef...
What was wrong with her?

Hmm kolapo Olawuyi, one of the erudite investigative journalist in Nigeria and west Africa. I can’t forget all his developed stories on investigative matters in the ritualists states in Nigeria.

His program is always terrifying. I can't listen to his program alone that time. I would rather change it to a music station.

Nkan Bee. I never miss a episode. It's was that good, and scary at the same time.

His stories were scary men. I remember 2 in particular. One was about a woman who slowly killed her husband by adding finely grounded glass to yam flour used in preparing Amala for him. The 2nd was about a well in which a school boy fell into and died. That well continued to swallow every body who ever entered it to rescue the boy or remove his dead body. People kept going in and never came out until a ritual sacrifice was carried out to appease the deity/spirit that inhabited the well. Scary stories. Interesting days.

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.

Add the activities of yahoo plus boys and you can imagine the level of darkness pervading the atmosphere.

Good.
You forgot to mention one of his greatest investigations about TEMITOPE JOSHUA'S ROAD TO STARDOM SECRET in the early 80s. The reason reason for which he was sacked or left Radio Nigeria Ibadah.

Gentlesoul2021:

mayowa orisatola was very deep too. He’s from Modakeke in Osun State. Mayowa too has died. Mayowa too investigate this set of ritualists using people’s organs for rituals purposes.

I remember following his programs back to back then....Even the guy who replaced him was'nt half as good...

One of the stories I can't ever forget was the woman that carried a pregnancy for 4yrs around badagry axis (that was the first time I heard of a place called oko-Afo). When she eventually put to bed,it was a tortoise and a snail covered in blood I think.....

You mean you actually believed this ?!!

Hi hi. I grew up in this town in the early nineties till 2009 when I left for university.

I always thought this was a fable. Please, do you mind sharing the story? I can't remember.
Thank you

Aramotu's story of year 1997 ( a witch whose head was cut off and was still speaking and issuing threats) was more dreadful to me.
Maybe because Baba onilegogoro's narrative was already known to me then.
I missed Kola Olawuyi and Toba Opaleye's Alimi Janganjanhan.

StJasper:



Eeyah, you are such a pathetic soul!!!

One of his programs featured the story of a man from my village and I am a living witness.

There was another one about vigilante members who killed a man in Odogbolu, Ogun State. They harvested his organs.

The culprits were were released laters after interventions from prominent and powerful Nigerians.

These culprits are still alive in Odogbolu till today.

Don't think everyone is like you who lies like Linus.

That's not the point.

He presents stories of people with rare medical conditions as the work of juju or witches, knowing that alot of Nigerians aren't exposed would take what they don't understand as juju.

Such as the man with a vagina. It's not juju, he's simply an intersex person.

Why do you think he wore make-up to make himself look older?
