One of the suspects, Ologundudu, a commercial motorcyclist popularly known as ‘Kayefi, was said to have stolen the oracle from the Oke Mission residence of the custodian.

The Chief Priest who suspected Ologundudu approached him and warned him to return the oracle and threatened to inform the community leaders about the missing oracle if Ologundudu failed to return it.

A source in the community explained that the lifeless body of the Ajisegiri was found in his room, a day after he threatened to report the suspect to the entire community for stealing the community’s spiritual property, known as ‘Osho Osi Ode’ which was kept in his custody.

Speaking on the incident, the suspect’s landlady, Mrs. Beatrice Ademeti, said the deceased came to her house a day before the incident, warning the suspect to return the community oracle.

Ademeti said the suspect claimed to be a herbalist and had been close to the deceased to know about the oracle before he eventually stole it.

“The motorcyclist cannot say he’s not responsible for the death of Ajisegiri, because, on the night of the incident, I overheard the deceased shouting at the suspect, saying he gave him a day to return the community’s property he took in his room or else he would report the case to the whole town the next day,” she said.

“The suspect later came back at night to give Baba three sachet of alcoholic drink which made the deceased sleep off. The next day around 8:00 am, l noticed the deceased had not opened his door which was unusual of him,”

“I called other neighbours around and I explained to them that the deceased had not opened his door since morning, which made them force his door open. To our surprise, we found his lifeless body on the floor in his room with bruises and blood on his neck.”

The suspect tried to escape from the town after the death of the oracle custodian but he was apprehended by the people of the community who handed him over to the palace.

The suspect was handed to the police detectives at Ijare Police Station while the case was transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID), Akure, for further investigation.
