••• Blood found in Employer’s Bedroom
Tension is rising in Ile Oluji, Ondo State, after the sudden and mysterious death of a young man, Isaiah Bademosi, inside his employer’s home.
The incident has triggered protests and loud calls for justice from family members and residents of the community.
Speaking on behalf of the demonstrators, Isaiah’s younger sister, Rachel Bademosi, recounted the chilling last moments she shared with her brother.
“He told me he wanted to spend the night at his boss’s house at Olorungbohunmi Street because his boss had just returned from a trip,” she said.
According to Rachel, Isaiah borrowed her phone that evening since his own wasn’t working.
“Around 10:16 p.m., he called me using his boss’s phone to ask for the password. I gave it to him. That was the last time I heard from him alive,” she recalled.
By the following morning, news reached her that Isaiah had died. On arriving at the house, Rachel said she was shocked to find a pool of blood through the boss’s bedroom window.
“A woman in the house told me she didn’t know what happened. But when I cried and pressed further, she pointed me to look into the room. That’s when I saw the blood,” she said.
Rachel alleged that the authorities handled the case poorly, moving Isaiah’s body to a mortuary without informing his wife or family.
She added that the investigation was later moved to the State Intelligence Bureau (SIB) in Akure but has so far yielded no answers.
The tragedy sparked outrage on Sunday as protesters flooded the streets of Ile Oluji with placards and chants, demanding a full investigation.
Rachel, leading the protest, declared: “This is not just about my brother. This is about justice for every family. We cannot keep silent. Nigerians must help us get answers.”
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer Olushola Ayanlade said he had not been briefed , saying he would give details in due course.
