The wickedness in OwoDecember 26,2014
In the night of December 24/25 2014 when all men of
goodwill were celebrating the season of rebirth and renewal of mankind, a group
of murderers, assassins and arsonists were sponsored and contracted to most
brutally assassinate an innocent person who was doing no more than giving to
humanity the benefits of his professional training. Dr. David Akintayo Oguntuase, a Consultant Pediatrician and Head of
Pediatrics at the Federal Medical Centre, Owo was brutally murdered by
assassins/arsonists, leaving behind a most gory sight.
The picture above is the tragic remain left behind
by the assassins who obviously took their time to set the body ablaze after
killing him. Evidently, they shot him in
the main clinic area and carried his body to the room in the back area where
they left him face down. Not done, they severed his hands and legs before
proceeding to douse the body with petrol. The rest of the building on the
inside was sprinkled with petrol before it was all set ablaze. It obviously was
an inferno that raged leading the building to implode as the roof caved
inward. Interestingly, the neighbouring
buildings were not affected. No doubt this was a most professional job that was
obviously very carefully contracted and crafted.
The Oguntuase family is aware of some running issues
between David and the MD of the Federal Medical Centre, Owo. Some six weeks
ago, on the trumped up, very false, baseless and malicious allegation by Dr.
OlufemiOmotoso that David and some others in the FMC were planning to kill him,
David was arrested by the Police in Owo where, upon investigation, the falsity
of the allegation was established. We are aware that this same MD has been a
regular guest of the ICPC and very recently, EFCC was granted leave to arrest
and prosecute this same man.
The witch cried yesterday, the child died today!
Only in this case, it has even more obviously gone beyond mere speculation into
the realm of reality as to where the Police should focus their searchlight to
unearth the criminals and their sponsor.
Some ill-informed commentators and reporters are
hastily coming up with some spurious speculations over this tragedy. Some have
suggested that it was as a result of an inferno which was caused by gas
explosion! Some even claimed it was suicide! Haba! For us in the family this
even goes further to confirm the reality of a carefully scripted assassination
plot with arrangements in place to deal with scenarios that may emerge
afterwards. However, there is enough trace and evidence left in their trail to
follow up on the source of this dastardly crime. After all, there is really no
perfect crime!
For the record, David did NOT commit suicide and
there was NO gas explosion! He was murdered in cold blood in a most wicked
manner, dismembered and then set ablaze. There is enough evidence at the crime
scene to assist the investigative authorities.
While thanking members of the Nigerian Medical
Association, who David Akintayo Oguntuase faithfully served in various
capacities, for sharing our grief and their solidarity with the family, we call
on the Police authorities to do the needful in investigating this matter. The
cruelty of the act should be enough to gear the Police to get to the bottom.
Terrorists who are the bane of the nation today are no more wicked and evil
than these hired assassins have demonstrated.
We also would in the meantime, thank His Excellency
Dr. OlusegunMimiko whose officials have paid solidarity visits to the family.
We sincerely hope that he will sustain personal interest in unravelling this
crime if only in tribute tothe deceased prior association with him. Please this
crime must NOT go unresolved. You don’t callously make a charcoal or suya of another human being and expect
to get away scot free. Such wicked act must not go unpunished.
Thank you.
