Family and friends are calling on the Ondo State government and Nigerian Police to investigate and prosecute the killers of First Bank staff, Ibrahim Nofisat Adetutu.
Adetutu,29 year-old who was allegedly killed by suspected assasins in Akure last Wednesday was a graduate of Mass Communication, Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba-Akoko.
It was gathered that Adetutu who works with First Bank of Nigeria at the Oja Oba Branch in Akure where she handles the issuance of POS earlier had misunderstanding with customers over registration of POS.
Adetutu received several threats after the misunderstanding which she orally reported at the police station.
Report has it that Adetutu was killed at her POS shop where she went to do her daily account and she was attacked alongside her shopkeeper and was shot at close range while trying to escape.
According to her fiancée (who doesn’t want to be named yet) there are three suspects whom the police has named and questioned. The suspects are with the police as confirmed by the Spokesman, Femi Joseph.
It was also learnt that the suspects are all females – “Mrs. Adebusola”; aka “Madam Gold”, Mrs. Teju; and Mrs. Ilori and they have all been grilled and made to write their statement at the police station.
The fiancee also added that there is a threat to his own too from after which he begged for help. He highlighted that the Bank manager of First Bank, Akure branch, Tunde Temola, where Adetutu works is aware of the whole happenings after several reports were made to him before the death of Adetutu.
Some of the close associates of Adetutu are demanding justice and that the perpetrators are brought to book.
This is what Adetutu’s fiancée said:
“However, residents of Ondo State are demanding justice for the deceased and the case be investigated and offenders be punished. They also question the silence of First Bank of Nigeria over the incident.”
“Within some days, I lost my fiance to a mere misunderstanding which later turned a murder.
As I was informed by my deceased fiancee(AdeTutu)who told me that she was assaulted when she was on duty on that day, by some three women who posed themselves as purported customers.”
“She said it was her boss ( Tunde Temola)!that excused her and another colleague (Busuyi) of hers out of the bank to meet those three women,in accompany of some thugs ( Mgold , Iya Oyin and ex staff of Firstbank Mrs ilori) after which they asked for the registration of POS, and she told them that POS was not be make available and they should try and that they should and get another location.”
“Having said this, only for one of the women (Alajah) to slap her, and her colleague was seriously battered and dragged into the gutter. By thugs making nails around the bank area, all this done in front of the bank manager . She was telling me all these with tears, so I had to console her. It was fortunate for me to receive a call from a guy known as Alake who is also one of those women’s brother (Iya Oyin). He informed me about the incident. I then asked him to hand over the phone to her sister (Iya Oyin), only for her sister to be telling me she ordered that my fiancee be beaten, and more also they wanted to strip her naked in the open market.”
“I got bewildered and was forced to ask what she had done so badly for her to deserve such inhumane treatment. The next thing she did was just to hang the call on me. I later asked what the manager ( Tunde Temola) said after the incident , she told me he asked her it true all the women said is the truth.
Alake, (Iya Oyin )brother, told me to settle the matter amicably, and of which I conceded to; I then tried to call Iya Oyin for us to meet at the market to reconcile this matter, only for her to put forth a threat that she would deal with me and my fiancee because am surprising her even to the point of death , the next day I met Alhaja and mrs ilori , Alhaja told me all the thugs in Akure worship her, 2 days ago she still bail a boy making nails at the market from anti cultist and I should be very careful hence I begged then I then retreated to tell my fiancee to inform her dad, of which she did.”
“On the following day, she went to the police headquarters to make a report, though she only delivered an oral statement. After she left the police station, she returned to her Bank. Later in the evening she told me she want to visit her POS point where she normally go to audit the account. This shop was overseen by some keepers. But before her arrival, some guys came on bike and asked if there was service, of which they answered no. They went, though I suspected that they did not go far, but only hanged around, because by the time those guys came, she was already with me to inform me that she would be going home soon, and immediately she returned to her POS point, those guys appeared again, and they forced the keeper to fasten their eyes against the ground. And while they were trying to strangulate her to death, they broke her neck by this process , she escaped to the open space, but unfortunately for her, they shot her by the heart and she died. They left her money behind 210,000 Naira untouched
“N.B: Iya Oyin threatened to deal with Adetutu and I, and today Adetutu is no more because she was murdered in cold blood. I therefore cry out to people that my life is currently at the mercy of Iya Oyin and her accomplice ( Mgold and mrs Ilori) they yet to execute their death plan on me too.”
