The two widows of the slain member of National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Ondo State, Ademola Ademoyegun have sent a “Save our Soul” message to the wife of the Governor, Mrs Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu.
Ademoyegun, popularly called ‘Shaina’, was allegedly gunned down by suspected members of a rival faction of NURTW loyal to ex Chairman, Jacob Adebo, also known as ‘Idajo’, during a clash on March 9, 2021 at Old Garage area in Akure, the State capital.
The two widows, Bolanle and Olayinka Ademoyegun, who said that they are currently going through untold hardship, appealed to Mrs Akeredolu to come to their aid, adding that they are yet to get justice while the perpetrators are at large.
“Your Excellency, we’re deeply worried, with broken hearts to let you know that the sudden death of our loving and caring husband from the bullets of his wicked and evil minded colleagues in the drivers’ union, has impacted badly on our lives and that of our children, throwing us into unending sorrow, tears and hardship.
“Both of us are full-time housewives with no means to cater for our children’s schooling and upbringings, as your quick intervention in our sorry situation will come handy to redeem and rescue the family from this dungeon.
“Her Excellency Ma, we’re keeping hope alive with this Clarion call and passionate appeal for you to use your good office and, as a kind-hearted mother of the State, by stepping into our case for the much needed intervention and rescue mission,” the widows appealed.
In the same vein, the family of Ademoyegun also urged Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN to step up investigation into the murder of their brother and son, late Ademola, adding that his untimely death has dealt a devastating blow on the entire family members.
The Precision NG reports that two factions of the State NURTW had engaged in a cold war in March, 2021, in an internal struggle over who controls the union’s leadership.
The Ondo State Government thereafter announced indefinite suspension of all activities of the NURTW across the state, aftermath of killing of Ademoyegun.
