Fetish objects found included amulets, snail shells, live snails, cow horns of different sizes in coloured cloth, miniature coffins, photo images of humans and animals, concoctions in black clay pots as well as bottles and cans containing all manner of liquids...
The Deputy Speaker of the House, Mr. Dare Emiola, who announced her suspension on the floor of the House, said the decision was taken during a parliamentary meeting before the convocation of the Assembly on Wednesday.
The House had earlier set up a 5-member committee, headed by Mr. Fatai Olotu, which indicted Olasehinde and recommended her suspension for allegedly embarrassing the assembly by her action.
The travails of the lawmaker started recently when a former commissioner in the state, Mr. Ogunbadejo Kolawole, raised the alarm following the alleged discovery of fetish objects in the apartment of Olasehinde.
Ogunbadejo had alleged that the scary items were found in the twin-duplex 6, Olasehinde Lane, Ijapo Estate, Akure, which she occupied between 2009 and 2012.
Some personal effects of the female lawmaker, including House of Assembly vehicle plate number, campaign posters and hand bills were also said to have been found in the apartment.
But Olasehinde denied any knowledge of the fetish items, saying she had moved all her belongings into a new accommodation at GRA, Alagbaka, Akure, since October, 2012.
According to her, she gave the keys to her personal assistant for another co-tenant because the two duplexes share the same water system, adding that she expected the co-tenant to have handed over the keys to the landlord.
The landlord had issued Olasehinde a quit notice last year, demanding that she vacated the apartment by October, 2012.
Is that now a crime, does the fetish items affect her job performance? Does it make her come late to the house. A lawmaker can't argue her case wella.

Hmmm!! Yoruba pple & Juju,nawaa ooo.
ReplyDeleteI'm a Christian I do not support Charms cause is against my Religion. But if I’m caught with my Bible and my Prayers roses will I also be suspended? Constitutionally, a citizen of the Federal Rep of Nigeria is free to practice his/her Religion of belief. If that is what she belief that is her god and is keeping her life so be it. Religion is never a force; everyone is free to practice his/her religion. If she was caught with human part she should be arrested not suspension. THIS IS AN INJUSTICE DONE TO HER. Besides many of them have skeleton in their cupboard let do a thorough house to house check of all members, some have guns and cutlasses in their houses, they too should be suspended.

ReplyDeleteI think those that mentioned yoruba @ this point must av been mentally sick, juju is part of african culture & constitutionally its allowed , but if u are mentally sounded, u will observe that this issue is politically manipulated. Why are those jazz not found in her present residencia appartment, but where she fomerlly live? How did the assembley got to know about the jazz? Why not her new appartment? After she had obeyed a quit notice order, what power. Does she have over a property that does not belong to her? Thanks adewusi

ReplyDeleteWhat's the problem with this lawmakers. Does the charm affects her duties. She believes in god of iron so be it. We can't all be Muslims or christians. Where is freedom of association according to the Nigeria Constitution?
ReplyDeleteThat is madness, that is yoruba culture if she like she can put Ogun (god of iron) in her apartment and worshiping as god, that is her believe. she should not be suspended because of that, those who behind her suspension are they better than her?
