Here is the oration Late Yetunde Omodolapo Olotu-Jagha's father gave
at her grave-side on June 14,2013 in Dublin, Ireland.
The father's oration reads:
'' It is indeed agonizing to write this story; it is about our
beloved daughter Yetunde Omodolapo Olotu Jagha, she had a happy and
enviable childhood, committed parents, a dream secondary school, her
dream university and graduated a truthful, fulfilled, Christ- loving
adult.
Yetunde Omodolapo had just gained an admission into the federal
University of Technology, Akure, Nigeriafor a master degree program
when suddenly she brought Mr.Noble Oritsemeyin Jagha(Oti) for
marriage. It was marriage or nothing as they had agreed to suspend
that admission for another year which never materialized.
The entire (Idano) betrothal obligation that was expected to be
provided by the husband's family according to Yoruba tradition was not
provided. We bore the cost of these betrothal obligations: the
entertainment at the engagement ceremony and the after-marriage party.
This was done in good faith just as we accepted the husband in all
sincerity not minding his financial status. We took him as a son.
Not long after the birth of their first child, news started filtering
to my wife and I that Oti as the husband was fondly called stayed out
late and had at some stages beat his wife even with belt. "I wonder
why my daughter had to undergo this brutish act, despite the fact that
she was betrothed to him a virgin; a virtuous woman she was!
In this quest my daughter departed to Dublin, he continued in his
night crawling; leaving their little child alone all the time. He was
also involved in loads of unhealthy relationship with strange women.
This information became known to through his driver when my wife and I
stayed a night in his house while he was said to have traveled. He
even brought home women laundry. We did not inform our daughter about
this discovery because we wanted to save their marriage which was at
the verge of dissolution. Hence, we encouraged Oti to join his wife.
The first sign of financial unreliability we experienced from Mr.
Jagha was when my wife's nephew who lived in London sent Oti some
money to be deposited into his bank account in a bank where Oti worked
in Ibadan,Nigeria. Up till date, the money has not been recovered
from him.
.Then came his involvement in fraud which led to his flee from
Nigeria. My wife also loaned him an amount of N1.2 million to repay
his debt but he did not. Instead, he used the money as fare to flee
Nigeria to London while he abandoned the entire family belongings. The
Criminal Investigative Department officers that were laying siege on
their home were subsequently led to us in Akure from Ibadan by his
office driver with a view to apprehending me. This great loss of
assets and dignity was another reason our late daughter became fed up
with the unwholesome corrupt life style of this ignoble Oti as a
husband. But after his pressure on us by incessant telephone calls and
the fact that their innocent first, nursery age child was with him,
also suffering in London, we persuaded our daughter to allow him join
her in Dublin hoping that he would change for the better.
Unfortunately, he never changed, he proved correct the Yoruba adage
which says "the character of a man never leaves him because it is in-
borne." He started his ignoble life style; fighting his wife over
allowances from government that was meant for the children's
maintenance, the wife's earnings from her daily toils, and his free
life style. Rather than pick up a job to join in the maintenance of
the family, he prefers to loiter the street in quest for flings and
speaking on the phone for hours with women.
He finally made his wife to have another pregnancy that gave them the
twin baby girls for which reason the stone- hearted husband abandoned
the wife in the hospital because none of the twins is a male child.
From that time, he boasted to me several times on telephone, that he
must have a male child from any other source. He hated the idea of our
daughter not having a male child, he blamed and frustrated her for it
even unto death. I pleaded with him that countries like Britain,
Germany, India, Liberia etc had females as head of governments of
their countries but this meant nothing to his resolute decision.
Jagha was accused severally of having affairs with married women in
the church whose husbands in return made dolapo's life a living hell
sending her texts and emails of curses and of threatening nature
coupled with what she was facing at home and having to work 6 days a
week to maintain the whole family, not long after, our daughter was
diagnosed of breast cancer. According to Mr. Jagha, he knew when the
attack (Satanic Arrow) was sent to him and the wife but he dodged it
while his wife could not. He did not agree with the wife to see a
doctor when the lump was initially found and disagreed it should be
removed when advised by doctors. He insisted on prayer alone and our
daughter succumbed to his wicked advice wanting to be obedient.
However when it worsened she had to be hospitalized. The husband's
main concern all the time had not always been the health of the wife
but to extort money for his free life style, even though he refused to
take up any Job. The wife finally had to approach the court for a
safety and protection order/ judicial separation when she could no
longer bear the physical and mental abuse she suffered in the hands of
Oti. The church persuaded our daughter to withdraw any legal action
which she did in obedience. The church claimed that Oti resolved to be
of good behavior and pleaded return back to their home which he had
abandoned with the family car so that dolapo had to trek with the
children to school in bad weather while under treatment until her
condition grew worse, he was never supportive despite all appeal to
him from quarters including his wife until she was moved to the
hospice.
From the Yoruba perspective, it should be inferred that the so-called
arrow of cancer was Oti's diabolic act. So that once the wife was
eliminated; he would be free to marry another wife as permitted by
Christian faith, he had promised a certain lady in the church he was
having an affair with that he would marry her when his wife dies, this
was revealed to dolapo by the lady's friends. It may surprise you that
this man is a "PASTOR." One is therefore surprised that such an
ignoble Mr. Noble Jagha could be appointed a Pastor of that reputable
church in which he worships even against his wife's plea that he
needed to change, grow and restitute (she was ignored). As the father
of late Yetunde Omodolapo, it is my conclusion that her husband was
responsible for her untimely cruel death; out of demonic acts and
charms, long drawn oppression and neglect even on her final sick bed.
Oti was the primary killer while cancer was just a secondary cause of
death, and why is this not a surprise for someone who tried to kill
his own blood sister.Throughout the time she was hospitalized her
friends and church members drew a 24hrs roaster to take turns in
taking care of her. The husband turned up once in a while to see if
she was still breathing and urges her to transfer money to his account
every week. He stole her bank card at the hospital and robbed her a
sum of One thousand Euros plus and transferred money from the
deceased's account to an unknown account of a man in Athlone (An elder
in the church whom we gathered he owes) and also fuelled his car and
enjoyed the luxury of our daughters stipend in company of her
girlfriends in Athlone on the grounds that he was getting paid for
looking after his own children. We reliably gathered that on the day
our daughter died, her estranged husband's first concern was seizure
of the death certificate and the approach of her late wife's office
for information of how to collect her terminal retirement financial
benefits. How dare you lay claim on the benefit of a woman you cruelly
hated and sent to her early grave, and whose corpse was yet to be
buried? This is unacceptable Mr Jagha!
When Mr. Jagha arrived Dublin, I advised him to engage himself in a
meaningful employment from which he would be able to earn good money
from which he could repay and restitute the embezzled money from the
bank and become a free man rather than hide in Europe. He bluntly
refused; the image of a wanted criminal meant nothing to him.
One could see, therefore, why late Yetunde could never be comfortable
with a man without a conscience. A man who chose to cover his
slothful, ignoble, secret and sinful life style with the title of a
"PASTOR". This accounts for his hidden agenda to eliminate his wife
for not bearing a male child.
Mr. Noble Oritsetimeyin Jagha boasted several times that he would
assemble his prayer warriors and hold vigils to hasten her death; no
wonder my daughter was not shocked when she saw the prayer points in
Noble Jagha's purse which he forgot at the hospice while he came to
ask for money from the wife as usual; the prayer-point stated that God
should strike Yetunde's heart and that she should do no other thing
except what he (Jagha) orders her to do. Little wonder, if this is the
ideal prayer that a dying woman required on her sick bed. When she
even pleaded with her husband to pray for her, he bluntly refused.
On the night before the death of my daughter, while my daughter could
hardly speak, he was in another bout of accusations about who said
what about who reported to the child-protection agency that he left
the kids at home for two days on a row to go to school and sleep all
by themselves while he visited his concubine in Athlone while Yetunde
was at the hospice. Now that she is dead, how then, can Mr. Noble
Jagha suddenly develop sincere love and concern for these innocent
female children after the death of their mother? We are aware that you
see them as your meal ticket/money bag and nothing else…….
The wicked shall not go unpunished therefore; a so-called pastor who
has not a fruit of the spirit to show for the prayer power he claims
to demonstrate is another Elymasthe sorcerer and shall disappear into
hell suddenly as such at God's appointed time.
Therefore, no one seeking the true God, and therefore true success,
true prosperity here on earth, and eternal life for that matter,
should worship under such a pastor regardless of what powers of
prayer he demonstrates (Matt 7 -21-23). God's word stand for ever
"Surely the wicked shall be caught in his own craftiness; he shall not
go scot-free.
13 As our daughter is interred into her eternal rest, all parents,
friends, on lookers must strive hard that their children, and
relations do not fall into the nets of the satanic wicked spouse.
Christian churches of the living God should strive hard that they do
not hire pastors like the ignoble; Satan- possessed Mr. Noble Jagha
that will send their innocent worshippers into eternal doom.
Yetunde, my beloved daughter, rest in perfect peace, in the bosom of
the living God of vengeance till we meet to part no more''.
