What really happened....
On
monday 10th of September 2012, in the early hours of the morning, armed
robbers visited Golden Estate, in Ijebu Ode. The armed robbers raided 3
houses before getting to the house were Wunmi was and probably still
planned to go further. Present in the flat was Wunmi, her boyfriend,
her boyfriend's elder brother, his wife and their 4 year old child. The
thieves on reaching the flat commenced with the robbery. From what was
revealed during the open investigation and questioning yesterday,The
robbers DID NOT RAPE Wunmi, rather, they were interested more in her
jewelry.
A
next door neighbor, an Alfa(muslim cleric) , whose house the robbers
would have gone to next, said the next thing he heard was "Ole!
ole!!!(which Wunmi shouted)", and then the sound of gunshots, followed
by the groaning of someone in pain. He further stated that he assumed
that it was his neighbours wife who had being shot, until after the
robbers hurridly left( knowing that the gunshot would have been heard
and alerted people around) that he found that it was Wunmi who had
being shot in the mouth. The following day, the poilice came around and
investigations started, and at that point it was said was assumed that
she was killed by robbers.
How The Rumors Started
...The vigilante in Golden estate after the faithful incident *claimed
that they were un aware of any robbery incident that took place. This
made people then question the cause of her death if not robbers,
resulting in the rumors that started flying around and different
theories about how she was killed surfaced, including the voice
message, and BBM broadcasts that were circulated.
The
stories got to the family of Wunmi who had initially rested the case,
but insisted on a proper investigation on hearing that it was being
said that there was no robbery recorded. As a result, the Elewe eran
police station middle of last week invited Wunmi's boyfriend and a some
of his friends for questioning, and they were held, pending the
conclusion of investigation. The vigilante's were also arrested and
kept in custody. On Sunday morning 16th of September, it was said that
the viglante's confessed to having knowledge of the robbery that took
place in the estate that fateful night. When asked why they initially
lied, they said they feared for their lives and jobs,because despite
being armed with guns as well, they didn't challenge the robbers, as
they weren't sure if the robbers out numbered them.
Since
the robbery incident last sunday, it is reported that Golden estate,
has now became the favorite of robbers as it is alledged that about
three robbery incidents has again been recorded in the past week, and
that while some have temporarily moved out, others live in perpetual
fear for their lives.
On
sunday 16th September, 2012, in other to clear all rumours, and finally
lay the matter to rest, the police took Wunmi's boyfriend and his other
friends who were arrested to the crime of the scene in Golden Estate.
The landlords in the estate, the chief judge, IPO, robbery victims in
the estate, witnesses and other unlookers interested in the case were
present at this public investigation. It was, before everyone present
that questions were being asked, and witnesses gave their various
accounts of how they were robbed and what happened the night Wunmi was
killed.
The
family has now dropped the case, and stated categorically that at no
point was Wunmi's spirit invoked. It has also being said that Wunmi's
boyfriend and friends who were invited for questioning and held at the
Olowo eran police station will be officially released tomorrow as they
are said to be innocent and all that was said about them were rumours,
fueled by the vigilante's claim at the inital stage that there was no
robbery.
The Truth
A
source said he was present at the scene of the crime on Sunday where
the public investigation and questioning took place. He took it upon
himself to inform me about the true nature of things because he had
heard all the rumors about Wunmi's boyfriend and being human even
joined in spreading the tales, initially. As a result, he decided that
the least he could do was help spread the true position of things so
people would be aware of what really happened, he added.
It
was said at the public inquiry that Wunmi was not raped or killed by
her boyfriend, neither is he a robber. She was just a victim of
circumstance, sent to an untimely death by the men of the underworld.
