Hello fellow steemian. Hope you enjoyed the first 2 days of this new year even as we entered the 3rd day? I know we all did.
I just needed to share this story with us because is an event that my wife never stopped thinking about for some years now despite the fact that it happened exactly 11 years ago today. It was a sad day for her entire family because they lost a Son to the so called POWERS THAT BE in the society.
Now this is a story of a young man that was cheated just because he was in love with the daughter of a very wealthy man who happens to be an influential person in the society.
Like I pointed out in the title of this write up that this is a true life story and not a FICTION.
The deceased
My late brother-in-law's name is OLORUNNISOLA OLADOKUN NEWTON and his late fiance name is KEJO.
The young man in question lost his life to this event to this story am about to share and his dead body was what we received
after he was poisoned. This sad event actually proof to me that true justice sometime can be overlooked when you are from the part the society where you are tagged as "HAVE NOT" and the HAVES tend to cheat you and even take your life if the need be just like they did in this true life story am going sharing with us.
Let me establish this fact that when Kejo's father was about to die, he transferred all his estates to his daughter and due to the misery behind his death the daughter knew from the on set that she was not in a family who cares about her existence but only in her estate been the only daughter of a wealthy man. So she in turn transfer the ownership of her entire estate to her fiance Dokun just in case the unexpected happens to her and few years after her father's death she was also poisoned and she died
With my wife and another brother-in-law
Unknowingly to the family they were not aware of what Kejo has done until she her death. Due to the situation on ground, they needed the help of Dokun in order to have access to the estate which has always been their goal from the on set.
So they called Dokun to a meeting after the death of his fiance Kejo. The proposer tabled before Dokun was to marry Kejo's half sister named Lato, who happened to be her step sister (maternal side), and which Dokun refuse to agree to and due of that distance himself from Kejo's wicked family. He even told them that he cannot marry Lato because he doesn't love her.
Unknown to Dokun, he never knew what Kejo Will all her inheritance to him. So the family needs Dokun's consent and coperation before they can access the estates when they later found out what Kejo did.
On the 1st of January, 2006 (new years day) around 7pm in the evening. Dokun received a call to come down to Koje's house due to a particular emergency that requires his attention. He quickly left the pounded yam he was pounding and left for the place and that was the last time they aaw him alive.
It was in the evening of the following day that they called my in-laws at University Teaching Hospital(UCH) Ibadan to come and identify the died body of Dokun which was dropped by an unknown person that never dropped his name or identity. The person said he slump at a party. So he helped him down to the hospital.After an autopsy was carried out on him, the doctor's report says he was poisoned and left to die. When my in-law went to collect the death certificate at the hospital, they were told that the family has come to collect it.
They actually needed the death certificate to claim property especially those outside the country. It was really a sad period for my wife's family.
During one of his birthday celebration
He was buried on the 3rd of January,2006 and that made it 11 years exactly today.
They tried getting in touch with the family of Koje to get the true picture of what happened, but they all denied not seeing him on the mentioned day. All effort made to bring them to book was fruitless. They are always ahead of Dokun's family and just like my wife explained to me. She said it was due to their family status in the society.
Oladokun's family were denied justice.
Dokun happened to be the number 4th son of a family of 5 boys and a girl and my wife happened to be the only girl here. She was so close to Dokun. DOKUN happens to be that great thing that was about to happen to my wife's family as at the time all this happened, but that dream was cut short by that incident.
WHY ARE MINE SHARING THIS POST? I'm doing this post because of 3 reasons;
Firstly, in remembrance of OLADOKUN NEWTON OLORUNNISOLA (my late brother-in-law) who I never had the chance to meet and who was buried this day 17years ago. May his gentle soul continue to rest in peace.Amen.
Secondly, my dear wife that I love so much who specially requested I write this post for her to celebrate his late brother (my own late brother-in-law).
And lastly,to explain and to the world how someone can be denied justice especially if such individual comes from a family of not well to do status.
But should that really be the case?.....
We love and miss you Bro. Oladokun Newton Olorunnisola. Despite not meeting you before you died. I still appreciates all that you did for my wife when you were alive. She cannot stop telling me about it and I love the sound of it. It shows you are a good elder brother.
Sleep on because I know someday in the future we shall meet again in paradise.
Adieu OLADOKUN.
