Alhaji Rafiu Akanni Olohunwa, erstwhile boss of the Lagos Chapter of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), is not the only one implicated in the mess of assassin Adeola Williams popular as Ade Lawyer.
Another person who was also implicated is socialite Prince Kazeem Eletu Odibo, the youngest son of late popular traditional Lagos Chief, Gbadamosi Bamidele Eletu Odibo.
In a confession video, Ade Lawyer alleged that he had worked for many influential Nigerians, including Prince Kazeem.
However, after days of hesitation the Prince has spoken out in his own defense. Prince Kazeem has denied any involvement with the notorious killer.
Reacting to the allegation, Prince Kazeem, in an Instagram video said; “Nothing can shake me”. In a Press Release personally signed and made available to the media, Prince Kazeem disclosed that he saw Ade Lawyer once, when he came alongside some area boys during a dispute over a land boundary.
The Press Release partly read thus “It wasn’t even a physical fight. Nobody exchanged blows at all. It was just a verbal disagreement with the man who also claimed the (disputed) land belongs to his family. We were surrounded by area boys, some of whom always hail me anytime they came across me and as a kind gesture, I do give them money. So, this bearer (Ade Lawyer) was among them. He came with one NURTW official that day. While the argument was ongoing, the Police from the Ilasan Station at Lekki/Ajah came and invited us to their station. That was the first and the last time I met this fellow (Ade Lawyer)”, Prince Kazeem noted.
Further, the statement read: “As for the land dispute, we were transferred to Area J Command and both sides were asked to bring relevant documents which we did. At the end, the Area Commander instructed both parties to maintain peace and return to the status quo based on the Supreme Court judgment in favour of our family as the rightful owner of the land.” Maintaining that the suspect has never worked for him, Prince Kazeem insisted that it was only on the land case issues that he ever saw the suspect.
Ade Lawyer was apprehended and paraded in Lagos by the Lagos police in connection with the murder of Ganiyu Ayinla, popularly known as Pinero, and the Personal Assistant to the NURTW Chairman in Idumota, Azeez Lawal.
Late Lawal was killed on January 23 during an attack on Kunle Poly in the Idumota area of Lagos Island, Lagos state. I his confession during interrogation, Ade Lawyer confessed that he was contracted by Olohunwa to assassinate Kunle Poly.
