Chief Bello, who was visibly in pained had bandage round his neck as at the time of narrating his near death ordeal, added that the kinship tussle in Ketu Epe land must have been the likely reason that prompted the attempt on his life as aggrieved party are out to cause chaos.
Chief Lateef Bello said he was lying on the bed at around 9pm just few minutes after her daughter left him to her residence when someone entered the room and sat on the bed.
” My daughter had just helped me warm soup and she left for her residence. I lying on the bed when someone entered,sat on the bed, grabbed my neck and put wire round my neck, I began to struggle with the wire with my two hands and at the same time began to shout for help.
All the while there was no light and in the compound the generator being was used to pump water. Luckily for me , the generator went off and people outside were able to hear my cry for help”
Meanwhile, one of the people who came to the rescue of the 90 year old man, a resident of the Palace, Prince Rasheed Adesanya said ” All the time that we are choosing new king, first we would go to court.

The town has chosen Prince Babajide Adekoya Adefowora but Akeem was not satisfied. It is only one ruling house that is entitled to the Alaketu’s throne in ketuland. That is the Esokeji Ateshimara’s ruling house. We have not heard it in the history of Ketuland that the Adetonas ascended the stool.
