Mrs. Victoria
Aina Adanikin,a middle-aged woman in Ekiti has
allegedly murdered her own daughter, Miss. Oluwafunmilayo Rosaline
Abosede Adanikin, a 300 level student of the Federal College of
Education, Ikere-Ekiti.
Adanikin, who until the alleged murder
of her daughter lived in Adanikin compound, beside Baba Ewenla house in
Idamodu area of Emure-Ekiti, Emure Local Government Area of Ekiti State,
was said to have put an end to the life of her 22-year-old daughter on
the night of December 7 at their apartment.
Residents and
neighbours in the area said trouble started a few days earlier when
Abosede began to confess to committing some evil deeds through
diabolical means.
She was said to have allegedly
confessed to causing havoc in her family by killing relatives and
spoiling the fortunes of others with some fetish powers she got from her
mum.
An old woman, who is a neighbour to the family but who craved anonymity, told the reporter:
“Abosede had confessed to killing a relative of her mum as well as
causing the misfortune that befell her father, Pa Titus Folorunso
Adanikin, among other things before we heard that she had died that
night. The incident caused a stir in the community, as the girl actually
made the confessions in the full glare of the public.
“She was
taken to some churches for prayers and spiritual deliverance where she
spent days confessing and disrupting the peace of everyone there. She
was even said to have confessed to be in a spiritual cult in which she
already had two babies. She said she would return to her home in the
occult world whenever she lost her virginity here on earth. She also
revealed that she had lost her virginity recently.”
“Abosede’s confessions were reported to our traditional ruler, Oba
Emmanuel Adebayo (a former Commissioner of Police) who immediately
ordered that the girl and her mum should report at the palace so the
matter could be looked into according to the traditions of the land. The
Oba sent his messenger with the royal staff, but Mrs. Adanikin lied to
the bearers of the king’s message that the girl didn’t confess to
committing anything.
They said she only had some mental problems. But as soon as the king’s
messenger left, she tied the hands and legs of the girl so as to tame
her. Her neighbours said when it was late in the night, she began to
beat the girl in the room where she had her locked up and eventually
pushed her against some planks earlier kept there by her late father to
make doors for his uncompleted building.
It was then that the
girl lost consciousness. Adanikin then arranged for people who procured a
coffin. She told the hired men to force her dying daughter inside the coffin
for burial even when it appeared that the girl had not entirely given
up the ghost. It was early the next day that Adanikin had her daughter
buried. She buried the girl beside the uncompleted building of her late
father, Pa Folorunso Titus Adanikin. The uncompleted building is in
Mosafejo area of Emure-Ekiti. If you go there now, you will discover
that there are two fresh graves there. One is for Pa Adanikin while the other is Abosede’s grave.”
One of the children of Mrs. Adanikin, Abiodun, who also spoke with the
reporter, neither exonerated his mother from nor accused her of
committing the act.He told the reporter over the phone:
“I would have preferred to see you before we talk about this but I’m not
available now. It is true that members of our community, especially the
neighbours in Idamodu area of Emure-Ekiti where my mum lives with other
members of our family, are alleging that she killed our last born, late
Miss. Abosede Adanikin, who until her death, was a year three student
of the Ikere College of Education. However, since it didn’t happen in my
presence, I cannot say that our mum killed the girl. But I cannot also
say that she didn’t do it.
Where one is pushed to suspect a foul play
is that my mum and her sister, both of whom were said to be with the
Abosede during her travails, during the alleged confessions and her
reported mental derailment, suddenly disappeared the morning after they allegedly buried the girl.
“Given
such circumstances, I think my mum owes us all some explanation, more
so since the people alleged that she turned down the Oba’s invitation to
the palace during the alleged confessions of my sister.Right now, we
don’t know where she is; we would have heard from her what really
happened that night, leading to the sudden death and hasty burial of the
girl.”
Meanwhile, a woman in the area, who described herself as a relative of
Mrs. Adanikin, said Abosede’s mum was incapable of killing her daughter.
Arguing that it was not just possible for a mother to snuff life out of
her own daughter, especially when the daughter was said to be mentally
disturbed and needing help, the woman said:
“Aina (Mrs. Adanikin) is not capable of hurting a fly, let alone killing her own daughter. Please don’t believe what those people
are saying. How is it possible for a mother who has suffered so much to
bring up a child as fully-grown as Abosede to find it easy to kill her?
It is not true. It is not also true that she killed her daughter to
prevent the girl from exposing their witchcraft as is being insinuated in some quarters.
And as to why the woman just disappeared the next morning after the
hasty burial of the deceased, she may just be afraid or too shocked and
ashamed to face the people after the embarrassment that the mental
imbalance displayed by the deceased has caused her. Anyone could do
that. You needed to be in this town when the deceased went gaga, saying
all sorts of despicable things against herself , her mum and the
relatives. It had been a huge embarrassment to us all and a big disgrace
also.”
