Rofiat Abdulazeez, daughter of 57-year-old farmer, Abiodun, whose lifeless body was found in his cocoa farm in Owa-Onire, Kwara State, speaks to DARE AKOGUN about the family’s desperate search for him before his corpse was found, the agony of receiving his body instead of a call for ransom, and why they are pleading for justice
How related are you to the late Abiodun Abdulazeez?
I am the second daughter of the late Abiodun Abdulazeez, popularly known as Kebe. My father was 57 years old before he was killed.
Could you walk us through the morning of July 11? What happened before he left home?
That morning is one I will never forget. Around 7 am, my father got ready for the farm. Before leaving, he drank pap.. He told us he was going to his cocoa farm in Owa-Onire to plant cocoa. He also assured us that he would not spend much time there and promised he would return early.
