Residents of Koka, a community in Obokun Local Government Area, Osun State, are yet to come to terms with the tragic end of a nine-year-old romance between a Cairo-based businessman, Bolu Bamidele and his lover, Ifeoluwa Akanji.

Alleged infidelity by one of the two lovers resulted in an acrimony that culminated in the death of the two lovers with Ifeoluwa taking her own life after burning Bolu to death.

Findings made by The Nation revealed that love birds had been in a relationship since 2014 when Bolu was studying Mass Communication at the Federal Polytechnic Offa, Kwara State. They kept the bond until they had their introduction ceremony on October 4, 2021.

One of Ifeoluwa’s friends, who pleaded not to be named, said: “Ifeoluwa was a quiet girl who hardly talked or related with people. She loved his boyfriend, fondly called Teebam, so dearly. Bolu was the one who sponsored Ife in school and even built a house for her parents before settling up a fashion designing shop for his heartthrob.

 

 

 

 

 

“After the introduction, Ifeoluwa was pregnant twice but had miscarriages, which caused both partners to be worried. Bolu was living in Cairo (Egypt) but came home from time to time and spent two weeks with his partner in Osogbo, Osun State capital, before returning to his base.”

It was gathered that Bolu returned from Cairo on July 7, 2022 in a bid to celebrate the birthday of Ifeoluwa and also relocate finally to Nigeria to have more time for her.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A source within the family told our correspondent that on July 17, 2022, Bolu hanged out with his friends and returned home drunk around 4 pm. One of his friends was said to have dropped him off at his house near the Osogbo Campus of Osun State University.

The source added: “Around 6 pm on that day, Ifeoluwa called one of Bolu’s parents, reporting that he was drunk again in spite of several warnings from them. The parent apologised to her to exercise patience and promised to come to their house the following day.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was gathered that while Bolu was sleeping, Ifeoluwa took his phone to read some of his WhatsApp messages only to found that Bolu had a kid outside their relationship.

Another source said: “She called one of Bolu’s friends, threatening to deal with Bolu over the discovery while the friend urged her to exercise patience.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ifeoluwa would later post on her WhatsApp status a message that reads: “I’ve always been a calm girl and I’ve never done this in my life but Teebam has pushed me to the edge.

“At this point, y’all will weep over myself and him before daybreak. I’m promising y’all that!!!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The source added: “When the friends viewed the status, they rushed down to the house but met Ifeoluwa along the route around Oomuu stream almost naked as she wore only bra and pant, walking barefooted. She told them that they should rush home and pick the corpse of their friend if they would still find him.”

One of the rescuers, Gabriel Adejare, said he saw smoke coming out of Bamidele’s house around 7:20 pm and decided to help, but he met Ifeoluwa’s younger sister, Faith, outside the gate of the house with two elderly neighbours.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He noted that Faith raised the alarm that Bolu was inside the burning house as her sister (Ifeoluwa) locked the doors and gate of the house as the fire was burning.

He said: “It took us 40 minutes to rescue him from the fire after breaking four burglaries to have access to the house. We rushed him to Osogbo Central Hospital but were referred to Osun State University Teaching Hospital. Bolu was later referred to University College Hospital, Ibadan for treatment.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A friend of Bolu identified simply as Sola said: “Bolu begged for doctors to save his life and also ensure that Ifeoluwa did not abscond. He reiterated his love for her on the hospital bed till the point of death. Bolu died on Tuesday as a result of severe burn.”

Bolu’s elder brother, Bode Bamidele, confirmed to our correspondent that he had been buried at St Benedict Catholic Cathedral, Popo, Osogbo on Wednesday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He said the family of Ifeoluwa had relocated from their house at Illias Junction at Kobo area of Osogbo since his brother was buried.

“Ifeoluwa has thrown us into darkness with the death of Bolu. He relocated to Nigeria with the thought that when they are closer to each other, pregnancy would be possible,” Bode said.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When The Nation contacted Ifeoluwa’s father, Mr Akanji, to speak on the matter, he only rained curses on the reporter, saying your daughter will set your generation ablaze. You will be unfortunate in life!”

The police had launched a manhunt for Ifeoluwa since she fled and also declared her wanted on Thursday. It was, however, gathered that on Thursday night, Mr Akanji contacted some lawyers to meet his daughter in Ilesha where she was hiding.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was learnt that they picked Ifeoluwa up from her hideout in Ilesha, but when they were about to leave in the car, she coughed and confessed to have taken poison before their arrival.

She was rushed to a hospital in Ilesha and later to Our Lady of Fatima Jalayemi Hospital for treatment but was confirmed dead around 7 pm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Three suicide notes were discovered inside her waist purse. One of the suicide notes obtained by The Nation reads: “To all my friends that genuinely loved me and gave listening ears. I love you guys and am sending you this to appreciate your love. Please help ensure Teebam’s legacy lives on, including mine.

“Remember Ifetife. I did not kill your friend. You all know I genuinely loved him and I still do, even to the point of my death. Do the findings everywhere, Omo baba and Forty especially. I am counting on you guys. Boluwatife will appreciate this so much.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Confirming Ifeoluwa’s death, Bolu’s elder brother, Mr Bode Bamidele, speaking with our correspondent at the hospital yesterday, said: “We have confirmed that Ifeoluwa is dead. She committed suicide and left notes. The notes are with her family lawyer.

“The father and the lawyer brought her corpse to this hospital yesterday. We were called this morning to confirm her corpse.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“She is dead but we are still going to see the police over the matter.”

Kogi Tribunal: Confusion as SDP witness contradicts self on alleged ‘affidavit forgery’ .Renders testimony baseless

Kogi Tribunal: Confusion as SDP witness contradicts self on alleged ‘affidavit forgery’

.Renders testimony baseless

The testimony of a witness of the Social Democratic Party at the Election Petitions Tribunal on the Kogi State governorship election went awry, on Thursday as the witness’ statement before the Tribunal contradicted the documents submitted.

Advertisment

The petitioners had delved away from BVAS, after their star witness claimed he was not in Kogi State during the said election, and alleged that the All Progressives Congress candidate, now the Kogi State Governor, Usman Ododo, forged his age declaration affidavit.

The witness, one Dan Musa Williams from the FCT High Court, in Abuja, who had said the document did not emanate from the Court, upon cross examination, could not substantiate his claims.

Advertisment

When asked whether he checked the record of the registry to ascertain that it was a forged document, he said he just looked at the date, being a Saturday and concluded that it could not have been from them.

It was, however, found that the “declaration of age” affidavit was sworn in Okene, Kogi State, and not in FCT, but the witness claimed that a lawyer forwarded the one he was talking about to him.

Confusion, however, set in when the witness claimed that he also concluded that the affidavit submitted by the APC candidate was fake because it did not have the name and picture of the deponent on it.

At this point, the attention of the SDP witness was drawn to the fact that the affidavit with INEC, which he also annexed, had both the picture of the deponent and name, and that it was sworn in Okene and not FCT.

The contradictions between what the witness said in court and the documents he (the same witness) presented to the court, seemed to have damaged his testimony beyond repair, as he could not give further defence after the discrepancies were pointed out.

Sitting was thereby adjourned to March 30, 2024 for continuation of hearing.

Pius Akubo, SAN, represented the petitioners, while Kanu Agabi SAN, JB Daudu SAN, and DC Denwigwe SAN represented the Respondents.

The arraignment of Abayomi by the IG of police at the Federal High Court in Abuja witnessed a significant development on Thursday, March 28th, 2024, as the case involving the alleged theft of 87 million dollar by Abayomi OluwaSesan charged by the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, proceeded with significant deliberations.

Upon hearing arguments from both sides, Justice Ms. Idris urged the parties to come to a consensus before she delivers her ruling.

 

 

He emphasised the importance of punctuality and adherence to court proceedings if bail were to be granted to the defendants.

 

 

After a brief recess, court proceedings resumed at 2:38 pm, with Justice Ms. Idris adjourning the case until April 18th, 2024. The judge mandated that the suspects remain in police custody until the specified date unless they meet stringent bail conditions.

The Senior Pastor of A Torch From Heaven Ministry, Bishop Joe Ighalo has warned the Chairman of the Lagos State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Bishop Steven Adegbite to steer clear from the internal affairs of the state’s chapter of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN).

Ighalo said this during a press briefing titled: “State of Our State; Our Stand” in Lagos.

He said that the Adegbite-led Lagos chapter of CAN should not bring politics into the kingdom matters, especially when it has to do with the Lagos State chapter of PFN.

According to him, there is no doubt that CAN is the umbrella body of the PFN, but they should be allowed to handle its internal affairs.

“Why would you want to destroy PFN and keep CAN going, this is against the mission of the founding fathers of the PFN,” he said.

Ighalo noted that the issue between CAN and PFN began when the national body of the PFN failed to ratify the election of Pastor Kehinde, the acclaimed winner of the February 5, 2024 PFN Chairmanship election.

The PFN national body did not ratify the election as it said that there were anomalies in the process.

However, the Lagos CAN Chairman, Bishop Adegbite, reportedly led a protest against the development, which prompted Bishop Ighalo to say that CAN does not have any constitutional right or power over PFN, and warned that they should not interfere with the affairs of the PFN.

Also speaking, the Senior Pastor of Agape Worship Center, Ojodu, Lagos, Dr. David Odi said that as far as he was concerned, Lagos State is one of the most organised states in Nigeria in terms of economy, leadership and ministry, adding that this must be respected.

Odi explained that those who are behind the issue are trying to create problems that doesn’t exist in PFN body since inception so that whoever is voted into office would owe them allegiance.

“There’s no fight or crisis in Lagos PFN. I don’t even know any other person who is interested in the position,” he added.

According to him, i believed that the current chairman of the Lagos State chapter of PFN has served his term and is on his way out, and that Pastor Kehinde is not dragging the position with anybody.

“I don’t know any other person that will take the position until proper election is conducted.

“I’m optimistic that if there’s any election tomorrow, next week or next month, Pastor Kehinde will still win because nobody is dragging it with him.

“Those people still occupying the seat have finished their terms,just for them to exchange mantle and congratulated Pastor Kehinde.

“People behind the crisis are those who have peculiar interest in filthy lucre that the Bible talked about. Some people are driven by hunger for money. They are doing this because of the 2027 general elections ,” he said.

He added that some people want to make Pastor Kehinde believe that they fought for him to get into the office.

Meanwhile, nobody is fighting to bring anybody in, if there’s election anytime we would still vote for him.

In his contributions, Dr. Bolaji Akinyemi, Convener of Apostolic Round Table, (ART)
said that nobody will destroyed or throw fire into his house to burn it down because of selfish interest.

Stressing that “PFN is our room” and “CAN is our building,” and the matter will soon be resolved amicably.

Stakeholders in PFN have set up a committee to resolve the matter between those that are involved as any house that is divided against itself do not stand .
