The widow of the king of Esun Ekiti in Ajoni, Mrs Yetunde Ogunsakin, has narrated the last moments of her husband,
Oba Babatunde Ogunsakin, before he was killed by gunmen suspected to be kidnappers.
Daily Trust report that, Oba Ogunsakin of Ikole Local Government Area of Ekiti State and Onimojo of Imojo-Ekiti, Oba Olatunde Samuel Olusola, from Oye local government area of the state were shot dead by the assailants, on Monday.
Meanwhile, Alara of Ara–Ekiti, Oba Adebayo Fatoba Ikole escaped.
Ogunsakin’s widow related how her husband met her fate, saying the king told her he was hungry and she should make him something to eat before he got to his castle.
The woman claimed that after hours, she called the traditional ruler and was not answered, which frightened her.
“He called me when he got to Ajowa to let me know that he was coming, that he was hungry, and that I should make him something,”
she added.
When I arrived at this location, Ajowa, I didn’t check the clock because I knew it wouldn’t take longer than an hour. I was ringing his phone as it was getting close to one hour, even longer. He didn’t pick.
“I was shocked when I was called around 4:30 to be informed that he has been attacked by assailants and that he was killed in the process with a fellow Kabieyesi, Onimojo of Imojo,”
Chief Niyi Ojo, a community leader from Esun Ekiti, added to the account.
