The Elerinmo of Erinmo, Oba Michael Odunayo Ajayi JP has condemned the alleged destruction of the unused mausoleum built for Late Pa Joshua Odeyemi Bojesomo who was the immediate past administrator of Ori-Oke Agbara, Erinmo in Oriade Local Government Area of Osun state.
Describing the wanton destruction as an arson in a press statement issued and made available to our Correspondent on Saturday, Oba Ajayi called on the police to fish out the perpetrators and bring them to book for commiting such a sacrilegious act on the holy mountain renowned for its spiritual and tourism potentials globally.
The Elerinmo expressed shock that the act could be perpetrated even when the mountain is under the watch of security agencies as ordered by the Osun state commissioner of police following the attempt by the children of late Baba Bojesomo led by Arole Samuel Adegoke (earlier declared wanted by the police) to forcefully bury the corpse of their father on the mountain in other to continue to perpetuate nefarious and criminal activities, shooting sporadically.
Oba Ajayi noted that he had a father – son relationship with late Baba Joseph Eyinafe Odeyemi Bojesomo, they exchanged physical visits on numerous occasions and his welfare was given priority by Oba Elerinmo and his people till his death. This fact is known to everyone including his children. Baba used to say that “no one can come in between him and the Elerinmo, and that Kabiyesi is both his father and his son”
