'My life is in danger,' OBJ's ex-wife cries out, petitions Commissioner of Police

Mrs. Taiwo Obasanjo

Mrs Obasanjo is alleging that her twin brother, her future daughter-in-law, Tope Adebutu, and Tope's mother have contracted some persons to kill her over her son's wedding.


Former President Olusegun Obasanjo's ex-wife, Mrs. Taiwo Obasanjo, has accused the family of lottery mogul, Mr. Kessington Adebutu (Baba Ijebu) of plotting to assassinate her.

Mrs. Obasanjo had filed a motion before an Ikeja High Court, asking the court to postpone her son's wedding to Adebutu's daughter to any other date after May 30, 2017.
In the originating motion on notice, she said the wedding invitations were sent out without her involvement in the preparations.
She, therefore, wants the court to declare that as the mother of the groom, she has parental rights to take part in the deliberations, decisions and activities leading to the wedding.
Mrs Obasanjo also said in the motion that prior to the fixing of the wedding date, she had a premonition regarding her son who will turn 34 on June 1.
According to ThisDay, ex-President Obasanjo and father of the bride, are the respondents to the suit filed before Justice Lateefa Okunnu.
Mrs Obasanjo has now petitioned the  Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, alleging that her twin brother Chief Kenny Martins, her future daughter-in-law, Tope Adebutu and the bride-to-be's mother Ms. Rosemary Dacosta, have contracted some persons to kill her.
She said: "I was reliably informed that the three persons mentioned above have perfected plans to assassinate me because I requested the court to shift the wedding date of my son from the month of May to June 2017.
"They also have a plan to start a smear campaign against my person using various media platforms such as newspapers, internet etc.
"Their third plan is to frame me on false charges and get me arrested and detained by the police from the 10th-14th May, 2017 and also to involve the military police to achieve their plans.
"Sir, this issue reported here is neither a small matter nor a figment of my imagination because sometime during the time of late Head of State, Gen. Abacha, when Daddy Obasanjo was in prison, the late Stella Obasanjo got the military through Frank Omenka to detain me at DMI Apapa on false charges.
"Sir, what is unfolding now is not a wedding preparation but a desperate attempt to kill me because I told Rosemary Dacosta and her daughter, Tope Adebutu to allow the wedding to hold after the month of May 2017.
"Chief Kenny Martins is the leader of the planned assassination on my life. Sir, I am reporting this issue so that you can please use your good office to step in because there is a deep strange desperation attached to the wedding of my son which is now a do-or-die wedding ceremony for them."
When contacted by the newspaper, Mrs Obasanjo's twin brother, Kenny Martins, the former coordinator of the Police Equipment Fund, was said to have declined to comment on the petition.
"I don’t have any petition from the police on my table so I don’t react to what is not before me," he said.
The mother of the bride also said, "I don’t want to listen to anybody. I have nothing to say about what is happening because I don’t know anybody. Thank you so much and bye bye."
Justice Okunnu will hear the suit filed by Mrs. Obasanjo on April 10.
