Mr. Abdul Mojeed Olawale Agbaje aka Dondo-Rondo, the ex-domestic aide to HRM, Oba Abdul Rasheed Adewale Akanbi the Oluwo of Iwo |
In a new twist of event, the recent
crisis ravaging the stool of the Oluwo of Iwo land, Oba Abdul Rasheed Adewale Akanbi (Telu 1) escalated to an all time
steam last Sunday May 7, 2017 as the embattled Oba who has gotten himself
entangled in several other crisis before now was alleged to have stormed the
private home of an ex-aide, Abdul Mojeed
Agbaje Olawale aka Rondo-Rondo to
kidnap and torture him in the midnight before finally handing him over to the
police when the day broke. The need to kidnap Rondo-Rondo was said to have been conceptualized by the Oluwo himself as Rondo-Rondo was about going to the press to spill the dirty sexual
life of the royal father and how the Oluwo
allegedly induce him on several occasion with gay acts, promising him fortunes
and titles if he can be sleeping with him. Oluwo was said to have sacked
Rondo-Rondo early this year after alleging he stole money in the palace.

The Rondo-Rondo crisis is the new dimension to series of other crisis
that erupted against the controversial Oluwo
since he announced his stripping of the traditional and Islamic titles of a
veteran politician and eminent Nigerian, High
Chief Abiola Ogundokun (Balogun Musulumi & Otun Balogun of Iwo land) on
Sunday April 30. Last Sunday afternoon, Asabeafrika
crew stormed Iwo to carry out some investigation on the raging crisis. We
met Rondo-Rondo who was under
medical care.

The Oluwo of Iwo….How far can he go with these crisis? |
Last year he
wanted to start doing gay (homosexualism) with me and I told him that I cannot
do gay, that those who engage in homosexualism
often contact diseases. So in January, he started making trouble with me.
Whenever I go out and return, he will say ‘where
have you been?’ He will say I am going around reporting him to people; and
I will say ‘Sir, I didn’t report you to
anybody. I didn’t say anything’.
Early January, he said his dollar note was missing and that he suspected two of
us in the palace. He sacked the two of us only to re-employ the other person.
He didn’t take me back. I think I was the target of the sack.

A hundred
dollar bill, He alleged I stole the money and I said ‘sir, I didn’t steal your money. I know it is what you wanted me to do
(homosexualism) that I refused to do that is getting you angry to have lied
against me’. That was how I left the palace and stopped working for him.
But last night, around 12:30 am to 1 am, while asleep with my family, I heard
knocks on my door and I said ‘who is
that?’ and he said ‘he is the one o’

The embattled Oluwo with the embattled Oba of Lagos at an outing sponsored by Chief Abiola Ogundokun |
Yes, and I
asked ‘Do you have police men there?’
and he said ‘When you open the door, you will see’. But before I could
even take the courage to open the door, they pounced on the door, broke it and
broke all my louvers, that was not enough, they also broke the iron door at the
back of the house in order to gain entrance into my house, in fact all my body
itches with pain of tear gases as I speak with you. I can’t even describe the
level of the pain I am going through. As if that was not enough, he gave me
some beatings with his thugs and I was taken away. He was the one who later
brought me to the police station when he discovered that his action drew
attention from neighbors.

Rondo-Rondo to the Media…’Oluwo accused me stealing his $100 Dollars bill because i refused to sleep with him’ |
He said I
lied against him that he wanted to do gay and I said ‘didn’t you say you wanted to
do gay with me?’ ‘And you also
accused me of stealing your hundred dollars and I even told you that ‘I didn’t
steal your hundred dollars because I don’t even know the color of a dollar’.
So as I was saying, he sprayed tear gas into my house with my kids and wife
indoor. He even came with 8 thugs who joined him in beating me. As I was being
taken away, he said where is your telephone number? (Means handset) and I said
to him ‘I didn’t take my phone with me’.
He said ‘your case is not too hard; we will go and throw you at Odo Oba’. So,
they took me back to my house, he seized my phone and seized my wife’s phone
and as we were going, we branched at the police station. He said maybe I have something
I had recorded in that phone. He checked my phone (and that of my wife) and
dropped the two phones with the police. And that was how the police now locked
me up after he left. So, in the morning, kind hearted people and members of the
ruling houses took my bail and brought me to the hospital when I fainted and
couldn’t stand again. I went into coma and it was here I was revived.

me with the gun as well.

Dondo-Rondo to the Media….’Oluwo want to befriend me but i declined’ |
Yes. But I
told him I was not game for it and he said ‘heen,
I will give you a chieftaincy title and you will have money, there is plenty of
money for you’. I said ‘sir, I don’t
want to be given any chieftaincy title’. So, he felt slighted that I didn’t
agree to sleep with him. Even last night when he took me away after beating me
and handing me over to the police, he mentioned it again that ‘heen, he was a fine man before o, it was
when he left me that he now became ugly’. So, I said to myself, ‘this man is still angry with me for denying
sexual request’.

Dondo-Rondo on his hospital bed while talking to the media |
I was
shocked and at the same time confused. When the gay thing happened I think I
only told my brother who asked me to keep the secret to myself and just manage
the job until I get another job. In fact, the Chief who introduce me to the
palace, I couldn’t tell him. But I think
Oluwo taught I told the man because the man is quite advanced in age. One
day the man came around and he started abusing me before him, saying that I did
not sweep the palace and I said ‘sir,
sweeping is not part of my duty’. I
was not employed here to sweep, yes, I am your domestic staff but I am not in
charge of sweeping. We met seven Palace aides here when we came in, 4 girls and
3 boys but you slept with all of them and the girls all ran away. So, why are
you accusing me for wrong things? I think he was just angry that I refused to
honor his desire to be my male lover.

He once told
me that he has never been lucky to sleep with a virgin and that he will be
happy if I can get him one. I think that was around September last year and I
also said ‘sir, I don’t know about how to
get virgins’. He is a fiery person, so anytime he shares a secret with you,
he will take you to the burial ground of late Oluwos, his predecessors, at the back of the palace and make you
take oaths that you won’t reveal his secret.

dictate to you and he will lay his horse
whip on your head indicating that you are now bound by what you say and if
you dare try to reveal the secret, you will die. That is how he tries to
instill fear and trepidation in us. But somehow, he still suspects we were
leaking out his secrets. He particularly felt that towards me and that led him
to start making frivolous allegations against me. It was terrible.

That was
what I first asked him when he was knocking my door but he insisted I should
open and before I could open, he broke into my house and destroyed the louvers,
doors and other things. He later told me that it was the Osun State Commissioner of Police that asked him to come and arrest
me. And funny enough the DPO also corroborated his statement.
