Facebook user, Akinrinlade Ayodeji, shared his experience with some
residents of Ikorodu who thought he was a member of Badoo cult. Read his
story as he shared on his Facebook page below..
"The rate at which people are being wrongly accused and molested in this
Ikorodu is becoming pathetic. One can't even walk peacefully at
anything past 7pm. I got back from work at around 5:21pm, after putting
off my wears, I decided to take a nap on my bed. Suddenly I felt into a
deep sleep only to wake up at about 7:39pm. Immediately i became
conscious to the fact that I don't have water in my gallon.
Then I quickly decided to go get some water at a
nearby tank. I was with my hands free on, i was just hearing "hey hey!
what are you coming here to do at this time"?, I replied the
questionnaire; "sorry sir, i am actually here to fetch some water".
Before i could finish explaining myself, I saw a very furious man and
decided to just turn back 'jejely' to my house. Before i could take
three steps forward, I just felt a big and several bang on my face
through the back. At this point I was lost, wondering if the world is
ending today. Immediately i saw people gathered, asking in Yoruba; "ki
lo de, ki lo sele (what happened, whats going on)"? To cut the long
story short, people attested that they know me, even asking the said
BABA, don't you know him? They all apologized after several slaps and
molestation initially, then I just jejely carried my gallon that someone
else has helped filled. Obviously out of pity then walked towards my
house, entered my room, put off my already tattered cloth, sat down and
started imagining what just happened, hoping it was just a dream,
behold! it wasn't, it was REAL 'mehn'!. Some minutes later while i was
still busy pondering on what just happened, I heard some elderly voices
at my entrance, they knocked and i saw four elderly men (obviously the
landlords of the area) alongside the man that ignorantly dealt with me
and one of my neighbours (making six men). They all said they were sorry
for the ugly incident, with the man that punished me particularly
holding me tight just to show his level of SORRY state, i almost shed
tears😢 at that point, but had to be a man. I told them they should just
take things easy, that two wrongs can never make a RIGHT. That i am ok
now. But trust me the beating was not here ooo. Come and see slaps! Do i
blame them? No! But people should apply wisdom. That was how one of our
friends too was lynched to death last Sunday at Odongunyan but glory be
to God mine was not beyond control.
