High Chief Ajibade, who is a veteran Journalist and the Odofin of Irorin quarter, Ilawe-Ekiti, alleged that three men in the community were after his life.

The veteran journalist who doubles as the Media Adviser to the Alawe of Ilawe of Ekiti in  the petition, said the suspects are enjoying the shield of a prominent member of the Ororin family making all efforts to arrest them  by the officers of the Ilawe Police Station proved abortive.

Addressing newsmen on the petition in Ado Ekiti at the weekend,  Chief Ajibade said “On Saturday, 15th February 2025 I was presiding over our enlarged family (Aderuku House) meeting inside Owa Oruku hall in Irorin quarter, Ilawe Ekiti,  when suddenly three wild looking hefty men from Ororin house who are not members of our family rushed inside our family hall facing me directly, threatening me, pointing cudgels and dangerous weapons cursing me and at the same time, one of them was seen pulling out a pistol to shoot me.

“When I stood up, I saw another group surrounding the hall. This was around 6 pm.

“The intervention of members of our family prevented my being shot. The police were called in and three policemen on patrol came but the three attackers ran away with other members.

“The police traced them to their hideout but claimed that a prominent member of Ororin family prevented them from being dragged to the police station”.

He noted that the Ilawe-Ekiti Divisional Police Officer,  Irorin, promised to bring the culprits to the police station the next day, which is Sunday, 16th March, but till now, the culprits have not been arrested, and the man, Ororin, who assured the police failed to bring them.’’

Chief Ajibade, called on the police to save his life as the suspects are still moving freely in the community, evading police arrest and boasting within the quarter that nothing will happen to them.
