Community Declares Man Wanted Over Alleged Gay Relationship

 

 

 

 

Reliable information has it that the culprit who is in his mid-30s was alleged to be neck deep in a same sex relationship, an act seen as a taboo and also punishable under the Nigeria constitution.

Reliable information has it that the culprit who is in mid 30s reportedly finds himself at the centre of a community uproar and police pursuit following revelations about his alleged homosexual relationship and subsequent tragic consequences.

Born into a humble background on July 28, 1987, Jimoh according to a source in the community started the ugly trend from his High School days at Ijegun Secondary School in Lagos state.

Our correspondent gathered that his upbringing and schooling, detailing an encounter during his secondary school years with a senior named Wasiu Oloyede, whose benevolence towards him and a friend, Kazeem Shittu, evolved into a disturbing pattern of sexual exploitation.

Findings further revealed that despite initial resistance, Jimoh was said to have succumbed to Oloyede’s advances due to financial dependency, leading to a deepening affection and subsequent attraction towards males.

A teacher in the school who preferred anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the issue narrated that even after the boy who initiated Jimoh had left the High school, Jimoh who was now fond of the same sex relationship later made an advances at one Kazeem Shittu, who happened to be his close friend as well.

 

It was further gathered that although, Jimoh eventually got married to one Sukurat Awosile sometimes in 2017, but his penchant for same sex relationship continued unabated.

The source added that several attempts by Jimoh to hide his unholy affair from his unsuspecting spouse and daughter thereafter unsettled their marriage.

However, the fragile facade shattered in 2018 when revelations of Jimoh’s affair surfaced, instigating a violent reprisal orchestrated by Oloyede’s mother and the Odua People’s Congress. Threatened with exposure and possible death, Jimoh and Shittu were forced into hiding, navigating a perilous existence fraught with danger and deceit.

Despite evading capture for a time, tragedy struck in March 2022 when an altercation with an acquaintance turned violent, resulting in the fatal stabbing of Jimoh’s mother, who courageously intervened to protect her son.

The aftermath of this brutal incident saw Jimoh’s grief compounded by renewed persecution, as his assailant reopened the case with authorities, prompting widespread scrutiny and condemnation from his community.

Forced to reckon with the consequences of his identity being exposed, Jimoh now faces an uncertain future, marked by fear and isolation.

This was revealed in a communique issued at an Emergency meeting of the Executive held at the NUJ State Council, Iwe-Iroyin in Abeokuta.

Speaking briefly with Journalists after the emergency Executive meeting, the Chairperson, Nigeria Association of Woman Journalists (NAWOJ), Com. Sekinat Salam, said the meeting was necessary as the news of her suspension was laughable and insulting because it is like a pot calling a kettle black in this case, saying that the Leadership of the State Council, Com. Wale Olanrewaju has no local standing to suspend her or any executive member, even he cannot be a judge in his own case.

 

According to her” The Leadership of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Ogun State led by Wale Olanrewaju has always been misusing power without recourse to the constitution of this noble Union, hence has no local standing to suspend me or any executive member “.

 

She said only the Central Working Committee (CWC) has the constitutional rights to sanction or suspend any members found wanting after due process has been followed.

 

While calling on members to stay calm, Com. Sekinat Salam assured members of positive representation of NAWOJ at both the State and National level, adding the success recorded under her administration cannot be overemphasized.

 

She therefore called on the National leadership of NUJ to critically look into the matter, either by setting up independent committee to investigate the issues and resolve the matter as quickly as possible.
