Muyiwa Sunday Awoseye has called out his paternal uncle whose name is Kolawole Awoseye for frequently threatening his life and that of his immediate family over tussle for chieftaincy, Ajarin of Ijarin in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, Nigeria.
Awoseye made this known when he approached the Ijebu Ode Divisional Police Headquater, on 10th of April, 2020 to officially lodge complaints to the law enforcement officers.
He therefore informed the press on why he reported the matter to the Police. He narrated his many life-threatening ordeal in the hands of Mr. Kolawole. He said:
” I’m here to report one of the members of my father’s family who is also my step uncle. His name is Mr Kolawole Awoseye popularly known as K-money. He challenged me at a social gathering concerning the royal title (Baale) that we members of the royal family were contesting for. He knew that I was the closest person to taking over the title from my father that was why he came to threaten me. I reported him to the Mogaji at first. The Mogaji and like 80% of my father’s family were in full support of me and that motivated me to carry on with contesting for the title. My step uncle didn’t stop threatening me, he went ahead to sell some of my father’s properties that were willed to us before he died without anybody’s consent. I confronted him about it and he further threatened to take my life if I didn’t step out of his way.”
He went further saying:
“My step uncle is known to be a troublesome and wicked person and I got scared for my life. The next attack was when I went to inspect one of the remains of my father’s land. I met his thugs and they didn’t hesitate to beat me up and leave me with injury on my left eye. I don’t know what he will do next so I ran out of my house and moved to another apartment.”
“As if that wasn’t enough, when I went on a trip to Abuja my wife called me sounding very scared on the phone. She was at the filling station on the way from picking out a child from school where he confronted her in front of our child and left deadly threats. My wife also reported him to the police but nothing much was done about it because he denied all the allegations.
“He didn’t stop at that, he still continued to threaten through calls and voice recordings. I don’t know who to run to again so I went to council members and explained everything to them. The council members made the decision that the position of Baale should be left empty for a period of time so that maybe he will stop coming after me and my family.”
“Despite all this, he still keeps threatening me and my wife. We are at the mercy of God and security agency right now. I can barely sleep with my 2 eyes closed.”
