Unknown men at Ekiti ex-Deputy Speaker’s home

Suspected assailants on Tuesday night allegedly besieged the Erinjiyan-Ekiti home of a former Deputy Speaker of Ekiti State House of Assembly, Olusegun Adewumi.

The bandits, who forced their ways into the residence around 2a.m., did not meet Adewumi. He reportedly travelled to Canada with his family.

On March 30, 2013, some bandits attacked the former deputy speaker’s residence in Erinjiyan, where his mother, Mrs. Juliana Adewumi and his aide, Mr. Ayo Jeje (a.k.a. Murphy), were murdered.

The gardener in charge of the residence, who was not around when the incident happened, said the assailants who infiltrated into the house, were after the former Speaker because no property was carted away.

He explained that people called him to tell him about the incident.

He said: “I was in Aramoko when I received a call from someone living close to honourable’s house that I should come at dawn to Erinjiyan.

“Not quite long, I received calls from two different people, who were known to me. And I rushed down to Erinjiyan at dawn to check. When I got there, I could see traces of the entry, but no property was carted away.

“They were said to be fully armed, asking about the honourable. They were quoted to have  said ‘the stupid guy is not in Ado and still nowhere to be in his hometown, Erijiyan’.”

When contacted, the Ekiti State Police Command’s spokesman, Caleb Ikechukwu, a deputy superintendent of police, said the command has not been briefed about the incident.
