The Onijan of Ijan Ekiti, Oba Samuel Fadahunsi, has said that the Ekiti State 2014 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Mr Ayo Fayose, has no hand in the death of late Dr Ayo Daramola, an indigene of the town, who was assassinated in August 2006.
The traditional ruler, who stated this at his palace on Monday, when the PDP candidate paid him a courtesy visit during a campaign tour to the wards in Gboyin Local Government Area of the state, said that a ritual which was performed to fish out the killers, exonerated Fayose, saying that he was satisfied with the outcome because the ritual was properly performed.
Oba Fadahunsi said that identity of the killers were later unmarsked through the ritual.
His words, “We know the killers of Daramola because their identities were revealed through the ritual we performed. Fayose is innocent. The ritual we performed was thorough, it exonerated Fayose. It said that Fayose did not kill our son and not connected. Therefore, those linking Fayose to Daramola’s death are doing so for mischief and political reason. As far as I am concerned as the monarch and as far as Ijan community is concerned, Fayose has no hand in the death of our son.”
The royal father berated those he called enemy of the town, who had pasted the poster of late Daramola in the town for political reason to spite Fayose.
He said Ijan town was for Fayose, and Fayose remains a son of Ijan
The monarch later prayed for him.
Earlier, the PDP candidate had told the monarch that he had come to get royal blessing from him and urged him to ignore any rumour concotted to cause disaffection between him and the monarch.
Fayose told the Onijan that he has no hand in the death of Daramola, saying that his christain faith would never allow him to have hand in such a sinful act.
The tour later took him to all the wards in the local government and he was well received by the huge crowd at every ward.
