Oji’s family chases sympathisers, journalists away


Fatai Owoseni

Family members of Dr. Allwell Oji Chiawolamoke, who dived into the Third Mainland Bridge Lagoon on Sunday, leading to his death, Thursday chased sympathisers and journalists away from their Ijeshatedo home, in Somolu area of Lagos State.

A mild drama played out yesterday around 12noon when Oji’s elder brother arrived and rushed into the apartment.
A few minutes later, he ordered all the sympathizers, journalists and church members to leave.
The deceased’s elder brother, who was visibly angry, marched everybody to the gate and thereafter, shut it.
He warned journalists, who besieged their house to leave as the death of their brother was a complex one.
His words: “We don’t want to see any family members, journalists and neighbours. We are mourning our brother; we need privacy to sort out something. We didn’t invite journalists.”
It was observed that everybody that came to sympathise with the Oji’s mother, didn’t stay long before taking his or her leave. Once they step out, the gate would be slammed, to prevent people from entering.
