On behalf of the entire Ife community, we like to express our deepest and sincere sympathy with the entire Oludare’s family, most especially the aged parents and the young family that he left behind. No amount of words can describe the level of pains and agonies this devastating incidence must have caused in their souls. No parent or family will ever pray to experience such an incident.
This message was made know by Niyi Murele, spokesman Ife Legacy Foundation and it was contained in a communique issues by Ife Community on the tragic death of Mr Timothy Adegoke Oludare, who died in one of the famous hotel in Ife kingdom.
We can only at this time pray for God’s comfort for the immediate and extended family, not excluding friends and loved ones going through the pain of this sad incident. As a community we identify with them at this difficult period, and we are fully in support that justice be done to whoever is found culpable of cutting short the life of this budding star Mr Timothy Adegoke Oludare. We are monitoring events and we strongly believe that justice will prevail at last.
We seize this opportunity to appreciate the efforts of the law enforcement agents so far in this case. Their quick response and apprehension of suspects is commendable. It’s no news that the owner of the hotel Dr Ramon Adedoyin have been arrested alongside six others and currently being interrogated. We believe that within the ambience of law, if any of them is indicted from the interrogation, they will be duly charged and prosecuted.
Dr Ramon Adedoyin is a prominent son of Ife and known to be a successful entrepreneur, not known as a ritualist, and we can only rely on police investigation to reveal the truth on this occasion. Within Ife community, he has never been associated with such evil as this, and that is why we appeal to the law enforcement agent to leave no stone unturned to get to the bottom of the matter.
As a community, we believe no one is above the law, and all parties involved in this ugly incidence deserves justice in accordance to their roles. We appreciate the effective communication from the office of the Commissioner of Police so far. We further request that they keep the general populace informed about their findings to avoid misinformation due to presumptions and assumptions in this age of fake news on social media.
To the general populace, we will like to emphasize that this incidence does not represent the good gesture , safety and peaceful state of Ife generally and the hospitality sector in particular. It’s no news that since the ascension of His Imperial Majesty – Ooni Adeyeye Ogunwusi Enitan – Ojaja ll, a renown ambassador of peace himself, the tourism and hospitality sector in Ife township has taken a new turn with new hotels springing forth, providing hospitality services that is obtainable in major cities of the world.
We kindly request that this horrible event be seen as an isolated case and we will do our best not only to ensure justice for Timothy Adegoke Oludare and his family, but most importantly that such ugly incidence does not repeat itself in our community. Already, measures are being put in place by hoteliers in Ife to guarantee safety and pleasure promised by service providers. People should be rest assured that Ile-Ife is a safe place to use hotel facilities.
We also like to appeal to media organisations, bloggers and social media users to please abstain from sharing and spreading unverified information. The commissioner of police have already appealed to the general populace for patience while they progress with their sensitive investigation.
The only way to get justice for Timothy and his family is on the altar of truth, not speculations, fake news and misinformation. We all know that there are many questions begging for answers as pertaining to the gruesome death of Timothy, which cannot be obtained by insinuations, presumptions and assumptions. At the moment, there are many conflicting information on social media which is not helpful to anyone, most especially Timothy’s family.
It’s unhelpful for them to be reading different stories about circumstances surrounding the death of their loved one on daily basis. Our best bet is to support the law enforcement agent and allow them to do their investigation and come out with their official findings, and prosecution of culpable individuals involved in Timothy’s death.
Until such a time that justice is meted out on both sides of the aisles in this case, our prayers and thoughts as a community are with Timothy’s family. May his soul rest in perfect peace. Amen
