OWOLABI IBRAHIM BOLAJI FLEES OVER THREATS TO LIFE BY MEMBERS OF OGBONI FRATERNITY
Mr. Owolabi Ibrahim Bolaji has fled his Mushin residence in Lagos, over threats to his life by members of the Ogboni Fraternity, a secret cult which his late father, Mr. Owolabi Ramoni belonged to before his demise.
Ika Weekly Newspaper Correspondent in Lagos, as at the time of filing this report, learnt that Owolabi Ibrahim Bolaji, as the only grown son of his parents, was asked to join the Ogboni Fraternity in order to take over his late father's position in the secret cult. Bolaji's late father hailed from Ibadan in Oyo State while his mother, Mrs. Owolabi Tawakalitu is from Kwara State, both of Nigeria.
Speaking with the journalist when we visited her in Lagos Mushin residence, Mrs. Owolabi Tawakalitu, said that," My son ran away from the house on the 19th of March, 2015. My late husband was a strong member of Osugbo Ogboni Fraternity. This secret cult believes in using animal or human parts to make money (Money Rituals).
I supported my son's running away from home because I never supported my late husband being part of the evil people in Yoruba land. The Ogboni Fraternity members have on several occasions, come to threaten my son to join them or else they will kill him and use his blood to sacrifice to their gods.
I don't want my son to die. I want the human rights activists to come to my aid by helping me to fight this because I cannot fight it alone," she concluded.
Meanwhile, the information reaching the Journalists is that the Ogboni people have promised to reward anyone with reliable information about Bolaji's whereabouts.
