A cleric, Imam Alhaji Abdulkareem Adedokun, whose wife and son were killed on January 6, 2025 during a violent cult clash in Owo, headquarters of Owo Local Government Area of Ondo State, has placed curses on their killers.
Imam Adedokun placed the curse in a Facebook post dated January 16, addressed to the people of Owo and the general public on the tragic killing of his wife, Temitope Adedokun, and son, Abdul Malik Adedokun, by cult members
The cleric, while recounting the harrowing events, revealed that his wife was attacked in her shop and brutally murdered alongside his son.
He expressed sadness over the incident, stating; “The most painful part of it is how politicians started playing politics with the death of my wife and son when they all know that no members of the Adedokun family have ever participated in cultist activities before.”
The Imam invoked the authority of his grandfather, Almustaph Adedeji Jika Anabi, who is credited with introducing Islam to Owo and most part of Ondo State, to lay a curse on those responsible for the deaths.
“I stand on this authority to curse the person who killed Temitope Adedokun and Abdul Malik Adedokun, all members of their cult gangs, their supporters—including politicians and traditional leaders—and those protecting them from security agents,” the cleric said.
Imam Adedokun issued a dire warning: “From today, every child born into their families will die a mysterious death upon reaching the age of my little Abdul Malik, who was killed. This curse will remain until they can bring my little Abdul Malik back to life. I have concluded this curse in Owo.”
He concluded his message by expressing gratitude to those who share his post, stating, “God bless anybody that shares this post. Imam Abdulkareem Adedokun.”
