In 2020, I was contacted by Abidemi Ibrahim Okiji from Ijebu Ode, Ogun State Nigeria, a man who had been part of my political campaign under the ACN party in 2012. At the time, he was in a difficult situation—unemployed and struggling to support his wife and two children. When I asked how I could assist him, he told me he wanted to start a business but needed financial support.
Trusting his intentions, I provided him with 500,000 naira to help finance the venture.However, within two months, Abidemi sent me photos of what he claimed was an accident. When I shared the images with my brother, he pointed out several inconsistencies: . Realizing I had been deceived, I cut off contact with Abidemi and blocked him.
In June 2023, Abidemi reached out to me again, pleading for help. I told him I was coming to Nigeria and agreed to meet him. During our meetings, I had him accompany me to two engagements, partly to assess his sincerity. I gave him 50,000 naira, as he claimed to be unemployed and in debt. .In September 2023, I offered Abidemi a job managing records for a group I founded, the Yoruba Development Forum, with a starting salary of 20,000 naira per month. By October 2023, I asked him to interact with the children in my foundation via a WhatsApp group. He joined after the group had already been established, and he only met the children once during a visit for which I paid him 40,000 naira per trip, as he travelled to see the children in their different locations.My foundation supports young children, primarily from two different widows in Osun State, as a way of expressing my gratitude to Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola for his support during my political endeavours in the state. These children are now in secondary school, and I am proud of their progress. I even purchased land for each of them in their community and instructed Abidemi to file the receipts for these purchases.
Shortly after, Abidemi called me asking if he could manage a business for me. I declined, assuring him that everything was under control. By April 2024, I decided to terminate his employment, giving him notice that his last day of work would be in May 2024. He mentioned that he was planning to japa and showed me his new passport, which I was happy to see.However, soon after, strange things began happening. Each time I spoke with Abidemi, I started feeling a strange sensation in my body—almost as if I was being manipulated. Even after his employment ended in April 2024 and he returned the laptop, we still paid his May salary of 50,000 naira to close out his contract.Then, early one morning before the end of May, I experienced something disturbing. I saw what I believed to be Abidemi’s spirit entering my body through a photo on the wall. I managed to get up, and it felt like this spirit left my body and began moving around my house in the UK. Since then, I have been plagued by what I can only describe as spiritual manipulation and abuse. Voices and phrases like , foundation lo mu” began haunting me. Over time, the situation grew worse. Faceless spirits started appearing, moving objects around my home. I strongly sensed that Abidemi was not acting alone; I believe he was part of a group. Though I could hear them, I could not see them. They all referred to themselves as “Akin.”This experience has deeply troubled me. In one particular dream, I saw Abidemi standing beside a Church minister named from Isonyin. In the dream, the minister avoided eye contact with me, while Abidemi Ibrahim Okiji stared directly at me. Then, I heard minister say something about one of the young girls in my foundation, who is now attending a private university, . This girl had been introduced to the foundation by the Minister under pretences—her mother wasn’t a widow as claimed but a business owner. However, that wasn’t my primary concern.In my dream, I saw this girl eating eko (a traditional Nigerian dish), and the minister proclaimed that she should die by the time she reached 30 years of age. After that dream, I severed ties with the
Church minister for unrelated reasons, mainly due to their unrealistic expectations regarding finances, especially concerning my life in the UK.Unfortunately, my dream has started manifesting in reality. Now, these individuals seem to be collaborating, repeating phrases like ” Foundation ni momu.” I believe I am dealing with a suspected ritualistic situation and want to caution others to be very careful about whom they choose to help and employ
