In an interview
granted a magazine (not Daily Times) Oganiru said all the allegations that he
killed his wife were false.
The actor said his
late wife took ill over five months ago and was battling fibroid. She was then
placed under supervised medication therapy by German doctors to prevent
surgery, but all to no avail as the fibroid kept growing and causing her more
pain.
The family moved from
Abuja to Prophet TB Joshua’s synagogue in Ikotun, Lagos, where the prophet gave
them emergency appointment based on his personal recognition.
His wife, Oganiru
said, then suggested they move to her brother’s apartment at the Airforce
Barracks in shasha.
“While there, she
rejected all the provisions that the actor bought and insisted on having pap
prepared by her sister at her brother, Group captain David Aluko’s home”
Oganiru reported.
After the meal, he
said her condition became worse and they decided to move her to Synagogue since
the appointment was a few hours from then. Oganiru said his wife refused and
told him to take her to the hospital, which he did with the aid of her brother.
However, she died at
the military hospital gate, and events took a different turn afterwards.
The shock of his
wife’s death raised his blood pressure and sent him into a coma. On waking, he
discovered that his Air-force brother-in-law had deposited his wife’s body at
the morgue and ordered him, Oganiru, to go tell their parents that his sister
was dead.
This the actor said
he would do, but demanded the death certificate so as to present to his in-laws
to clear himself, since the Air-force officer had started insinuating that he
killed his wife.
Oganiru said David
ordered him out of the barracks and he left to his hotel room, where he
discovered his wife’s stuff had been removed and his belongings searched and
scattered.
“They even seized the
keys to my jeep and my international passport. I had to beg for my things to be
returned. When I got the keys and my passport back and David insisted that I
cannot have the morgue tag for my wife, I left for our home in Abuja,” he
continued.
“On arriving there,
they had locked me out and carted away everything that belonged to my wife and
even our wedding pictures. Eventually I was allowed inside. Three days later
some policemen from force headquarters came to arrest me based on a petition
written about me that I killed my wife. I was kept in cell with Boko Haram
members and I was the one washing for them. The police didn’t care about my
medication.
“When they saw my
health was getting bad, they released me. I was asked to report two days later
to face my accusers. I took some journalist to the house to see how they
vandalized my things. That same evening, a group of policemen came in commando
style, broke down my window and said I was under arrest.
“That was how they
took me to Asokoro police station after beating me mercilessly and I was
bleeding from ear and nose, A few day later, a professor friend came and told
them that they should release me or charge me. He insisted that they should do
the autopsy and charge me based on that. When nothing was found after the
autopsy was conducted, they let me go.”
Oganiru added that
they had buried his wife without his consent, and were spreading rumours on the
Internet, “alleging that I poisoned my rich wife for her property. Let me tell
you, my wife was a hardworking woman but about being rich, I don’t know.
Otherwise, why did we scrape to the bone to find money for her treatment?
“We live in a rented
apartment, so I don’t know the property I killed her for that I wanted to
inherit,” he lamented.
The actor denied
claims that he also killed his ex-wife, saying, “The callous people said I also
killed my former wives. My ex-wife is alive, healthy and bubbling with my two
children. But I know there is God and I must fight this to a logical
conclusion.”
