They had been on his tail since 2004,infact there were
period he was said to have escaped via a fence, while at other times he had to
run away from a petrol station to shake –off men of the under world but on the
3rd of July at exactly,11 in the night, the angel of death finally
caught up with Barrister Alexander Olakunle Fadipe.
Investigations by Paedia Express Multimedia at the crime
scene at Adeleke Odunuga street in
highbrow Harmony Estate in Ifako-Ijaiye in Lagos shows that the assailant was not an armed robber but a
paid and hired assassin.
While some accounts as at press time insists that the killer
was from the Pansheke area of Abeokuta due to his ascent some say that the young
man believed to be a 24 year old cultist was from Edo State.
The obviously highly trained marksman is said to have been
embedded inside the Estate gathering intelligence on the victim for about four
days prior to attacking and finally killing his target with a sickle shaped
double dagger.
Checks by this reporter showed that the invader had scaled
the fence of the deceased unaided and was wearing a hand glove presumably to
prevent his finger print from been detected during forensic analysis of his
acts.
Paedia Express Multimedia gathered that on sighting the victim
the killer targeted his heart where he stabbed him to death..
A source told this reporter that it was easy to observe this
if the body of the victim is cross examined during post mortem analysis as the
deceased suffered severe cuts on his hands while fighting for his life.
The source also said that the deceased family members
comprising of his mother-in-law, wife,sister-in-law and son were all attacked
during the blood orgy by the assassin.
A source speaks:”If you enter the house you will see blood
all over the place when the assassin completed his job,he took to his heels but
one of our Oodua Peoples Congress { O.P.C }members caught up with him,2 initial
gunshots to disarm him did not work out until he uttered native incantations
and we then got him through his legs”
“Kunle died around 11:00P.m. on that day but until now the
assailant has refused to talk,”
Another source told this reporter that the attacker was actually waiting for who ever will be
coming to switch on the generating set
when the electricity supply went off but
that when he discovered that it was the deceased son he stabbed him in the face
and the hand.
He is said to have gone in at this juncture to meet Barrister
Kunle Fadipe and took on him directly.
It was learnt that one of the victim’s children upon realizing
that what was at stake was beyond the powers of members of the family ran out of the compound to cry unto OPC
members in the estate that an assassin had gained entrance into their compound.
Meanwhile back in the house the assassin is believed to have
asked Late Mr Kunle Fadipe to hand over
his properties like mobile phones and laptop and a sum of around N500,000 but the latter told the attacker he was not so
buoyant at the time but will still be ready to part with some reasonable
amount.
When this reporter visited the deceased sometimes in March,2014
he looked very disturbed and had a far away look in his eyes but it was difficult
at the time to say that this was because his life was on the edge.
Another source speaks:”I had slept off around nine but due
to our relationship the family members called out to me when the incident happened and I quickly jumped off to rush him to the
AB 10 Hospital “,it was a bloodbath as
this whole place had blood stains until they cleaned and washed off the whole
place thoroughly “
“The man definitely is a killer ,eh asked for N500,000 but
they told him that they did not have that much on them but at that they were
still willing to part with a substantial
amount of money”
“He had two sets of sickle shaped daggers but I will be able
to say if they were poisoned and he went straight to attacking Kunle in the
heart region”
“They hit the assassin with a USP stabilizer just to shake
him off the victim but he refused to let go as he was hell bent on completing
his evil mission”
“When I saw him he was writhing in pain and agony and as I gathered
him into a waiting vehicle I was dripping with Kunle Fadipe’s blood ,I had to
even throw my cloth as it was completely drenched”
“When we got to the hospital ,the doctors on duty
immediately went to work as they swung into action due to the nature of the emergency
but about 15 to 20 minutes later they came to tell us tat Barrister Kunle Fadipe
was dead”
When this reporter visited the late lawyers residence on the
6th of July,2014 ,grief stricken mourners who had come to pay the
family homage at the death of one of
Nigeria’s civil Right leaders were seen speaking in glowing terms of the
departed soul.
Religious leaders from both the Christian and Muslim communities
within the area were also seen as they paid courtesy call on the family while
observing prayer sessions for the soul of the departed at the same time.
A source told this reporter that Barrister Kunle Fadipe once
said that one of the things he regretted in his life was an occasion in which
he had to bend the rules to favor his best friend who was a medical doctor .
Barrister Alexander Olakunle Fadipe as at the time of his
death was a member of The Guardian Newspaper’s Editorial Board,Lagos,Nigeria.
As at press time ,the sister –in-law of the deceased ,Miss
Abiola Owolabi, herself a lawyer seems to have added more confusion to the
issue as she claimed in a press statement even without a medical proof that the
assassin was a psychiatric patient.
