OBA ADENIRAN


The Beginning

Gone are The Good Old Days When No One Was Above The Law In Nigeria,If What Transpired In 1949 Is To Happen In Present Day Nigeria,The Oba Will Get Away With It,On The 10th Day Of January 1949,Kabiyesi Samuel Adeniran Asusumasa Committed One Of The Greatest Crimes Ever Known To Man,He Sent an Herbalist On an Errand To Kidnap a 15 Month Old Girl By The Name Adediwura.

The Child who happened to belong to a Certain Mr Ojo who resides in the Community was playing peacefully in her compound while Her Parents engage Themselves In Household Chores,Within The Twinkle Of an Eye,The Baby Vanished, The Herbalist Have Succeeded, The Cry Of The Mother Filled The Air, She Became Confused as The Husband Became Dumbfounded,Nobody Could Explain How It happened,It was as If The Herbalist had them Under Surveillance, he struck at the Perfect Time

The Husband Picked Up himself and arrange Some Other Men To go To The Palace Of The King Oba Adeniran Who happened to be The 43rd Alaaye Of Efon-Search,In a low and orderly Tone,he explained everything that Transpired to the King, The King listened attentively and Asked Him to Go,That They will Get To The Root of It,Soon After,The King Organised a Search Party and Involved Men Of The Police,but it was a Futile Search

The Next Day,When The Search Party were Exhausted, The Herbalist and His Wife Went to the House Of The King In The Late Hours Of The Night,Some Incantations were Made and Before The Very Eyes Of The King, The Innocent Baby Was Butchered With Blood Spilling In Almost Every Corner Of The Room,The Deed Has Been Done, Their Aim Has Been Achieved

The Eyes of The Little Child Was Plucked Out, Her Tongue and Other Sensitive Parts of Her Body Were Removed, After This, The King Brought Out Kolanuts and Asked All Present To Swear To an Oath Of Secrecy, If Anybody Should Try To Divulge The Secrets Of The Happenings That Night To Anybody, He/She Shall Be Met With Instant Death,After This,The Remaining Lifeless Body Of The Girl Was Taken Into The Forest and Buried

Justice Was Served

The Loss Of The Baby Left The Parents In a Great Trauma,Their Conscience Pricked Them because They Felt The Kidnap Of The Child Could Have Been Averted If They Had Watched Over Their Poor Child, Exactly 10th Of February 1949,A Combined Team Of Police Detectives Swung into Action and Within The Shortest Possible Time, They Realized That The Child May Have Been a Victim Of Ritualist,They Immediately Swung Into Action, After Much Investigation,Arrest Were Made, The Herbalist Known As Enoch Falayi, Another Gabriel Olabirinjo and Daniel Ojo Were All Picked up, Gabriel and Daniel Were The Herbalist Personal Messengers

As Usual,Every Evil Doer Must Face The Result Of Their Actions,One Of The Arrested Suspects Got Bold Enough and Decided To Damn The Consequences Of The Oath Of Secrecy They Took as He Believed He was Doomed Either Way,He Narrated Everything To The Police To The Barest Details,He Confessed The King Was The Chief Mastermind Of The Whole Event,The King Was Immediately Ordered To Be Arrested,The Entire Village Could Not Believe Their Eyes That The King Could Send Out a Search Party After Committing The Greatest Sin The Land Has Ever Witnessed, Justice NS Pollad Of British Extraction Was In Charge Of The Case Of The Kabiyesi, Oba Adeniran Is Not Giving Up So Easily As He Picked One Of The Best Brains In The Land, Obafemi Awolowo as His Lawyer, Yes You Heard Me Right,The Same Awolowo Whose Head Is Found In Today's One Hundred Naira Note,Awolowo Did His Best, He Argued That His Client Might Be a Victim Of Some People Who Want To Bring The King Down

The Judge Refused To Listen To All The Claims Of Awolowo,The Kabiyesi Could Not Believe His Eyes,It Was as If He Was Dreaming,Justice Pollard Finally Said That The Evidences Present Before Him Is Enough To Convince Him That Kabiyesi Samuel Adeniran Asusumasa Atewogboye II was Guilty Of The Crime, He was Therefore Sentenced To Death By Hanging Alongside His Accomplices But Daniel Ojo Was Freed As There Was No Enough Evidence To Point Out His Involvement In The Gruesome Murder.

Awolowo did what every other lawyer would have done.

My only concern is that even after these years and the level of education of the SW ritual killings is still common in skull mining Republic.

I would be glad if someone with a good understanding of the psycholog of an average SW explain to us why ritual killing is pervasive in SW. I am just curious and want to learn.
Why is father sleeping with his daughter to the point of inviting friends common in igboland and southwest in general with the level of education they claimed to have. Why is kidnapping also rampant and why is selling of children the order of the day. I will like us to discuss that too. Don't forget, we will talk of ritualism in both regions too.

To be frank, not every lawyer would take that case. There are some lawyers with moral conscience. I know Rev Frs and Rev Srs who are lawyers, they won't touch that case with a long pole.

Awo was a man with dead moral conscience, a very sleazy and dangerous lawyer and politician. We must say it as it is.
And if we don't have lawyers that are willing to defend the bad guys in court, we might as well dispense of the whole legal system, and return to the good old days of trial by ordeal, and mass lynchings, of anyone suspected to be guilty...without arguing whether they are innocent.

That a lawyer agrees to defend a bad person is not a commentary on the lawyer's morals...infact it even shows that the lawyer believes in the rule of law, and believes in a critical part of the rule of law, the right to legal representation.(It also shows that Awo was clearly paying attention in class in law school).

If you read the case, it wasn't just the Oba being defended, there were co-accused, and while some were found guilty in addition to the Oba, one was found innocent, due to lack of evidence. Would you have wanted an innocent man to die without the services of a lawyer.

Infact, you have allowed your hatred of Awo (who by the way, I don't admire as much as I used to because I think he was a Socialist, and he led the way to our bad economic future via his sharing money polices while Premier of the Western Region)..to cloud your understanding of a principle of law. If Lawyers refuse to defend the evil people...a time will come when they would refuse to defend innocent people because 'they look bad, or they have been accused of being evil'. Then things will get worse.

I conclude by this comment made by the father of a lawyer who was defending a known serial killer in court to his son

"To keep our society free and democratic, someone has to do your job, and do it well'

Your choice. A society of laws, or a society of anarchy.

Awolowo isn't the only the reason why this thread surfaced, you see these afonjas are always reminding us that igbos are ritualists but look what their so called oba did.

As far back as the 40's afonjas are killing children for money, power or whatever Tueh

Some people are too big to be dragged in the mud even several centuries after their death. Some of them are Awolowo, Tafawa Balewa, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Nelson Mandela, Ghandi, Samuel Ajayi Crowther, e.t.c.

Nobody in the OP's generation will ever be qualified to guard Awolowo's graveyard. Awolowo's graveyard is guarded by the most noble of men. The OP's generation does not come near this category.

There is nothing wrong with Awolowo defending the evil Oba

In our system of justice, everyone, from murderers to the innocent is entitled to legal representation.

It is the law.

Modified

A vigorous defense is necessary to protect the innocent and to ensure that judges and citizens—and not the police—have the ultimate power to decide who is guilty of a crime. In truth, the defense lawyer almost never really knows whether the defendant is guilty of a charged crime

SARCE
You wrote for a lot of us.

Typical brain death are you referring to all the men that has passed through your house that your mom tried to pin you on?

Go back to your mom and see if she can give any info no matter how insignificant with that you can come back to NL. There are experience people here that can help you figure out of those several men which is your father.

While you do that stop taking out your angers on men on NL. None of us is your father. grin

Stop being unoriginal, if you needed answer you should have asked in one of those threads. Don't be a copy copy.

If you think it is coincidence just bro I think it is coincidence it had nothing to do with a region. Here are links to cases of ritual almost same figure across the country. Rather than trying to be unoriginal.
