Kehinde Adegbodu has recounted a terrifying robbery attack on his home, describing the fear and emotional trauma his family is now enduring.
He explained that the incident happened shortly after he travelled out of town. According to him:
“I was in Osogbo three days ago when Taiwo’s wife called me and her voice was shaking. She said armed robbers came to the house and were saying ‘where is Kehinde? Where is the room of Taiwo that d!ed? Where are their jewelries? Where is Taiwo’s phone? Where is the car key? We are here because of Kehinde, we want to see him, where is his room?’ The robbers took all my clothes, valuables and cash. One of the robbers called their boss on the phone that I wasn’t around”
He suggested the attackers may have targeted him based on assumptions that money raised in support of his family was still in his possession. He said:
“I think the robbers thought that the money Yinka Ayefele raised for us was still with me. These robbers don’t even care that we are mourning. They spent over 45mins at our house. The money raised for us was used to develop our building project so we could bury Taiwo there. I will post my account balance so that these robbers will know there is no money there. Please don’t come and h@rm our children.”
Kehinde also stressed that he does not live a wealthy lifestyle as presumed by the attackers:
“I am always on the road. I don’t have money and I don’t live a fake life. Even the car we are using was a gift.”
He added that the traumatic experience has left both his children and Taiwo’s children deeply shaken, revealing that they are now too scared to sleep in the house since the incident.
