The wife of Titus Badejo, the radio presenter who was shot dead in Ibadan on Saturday, Adebisi Badejo, has urged Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde and the Commissioner of Police in the state, Mrs. Ngozi Onadeko to ensure killers of her husband are arrested and made to face justice.
Adebisi who betrayed emotions on Monday when members of Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) in Oyo State led by the Chairman, Comrade Ademola Babalola paid a condolence visit to the Felele, Olorunsogo family house of the deceased begged relevant authorities not to allow her husbandās death to be in vain.
Badejo, popularly known as Eja Nla by his admirers was shot dead at the frontage of Club 407 in Oluyole Ibadan.
āMy husband does not fight. He plays with everyone. People have been asking me if I suspected anyone but I do tell them nobody. I donāt suspect anyone because you cannot see where he is fighting. I want the government to do the right thing for those who killed my husband. I want the government to do the right thing for the killer of my husband.
āSuch person should face justice. Government should get them arrested and prosecute them because he was killed when he started making his fortune. This is the time we should be enjoying his sweat. He must not die in vain. They should for God sake get his killers. He sold his car to execute a project in Ogbomoso and he promised to buy another car for me and my children. He promised me many things but they didnāt allow him to fulfil any of the promises.
āGovernment and individuals can do anything for his children to support their education and also complete his site, so as for us to move into the house.ā
āThe project was a concert. He was still struggling to get some sponsors for his concert in Ibadan but they didnāt allow him to do it.ā
Speaking earlier, the chairman of NUJ in Oyo prayed for the family of the deceased, saying journalists in the state have given the state government three days to arrest the killers of Badejo.
