A man, Mutiu Rauf Okunola, sparked outrage in Osogbo, Osun state, on Tuesday, after he allegedly sold his late parents’ family home and exhumed their bodies without his siblings’ consent, SAVANNAH NEWSNOW REPORTS.
The state police command has launched an investigation into a disputed property in Osogbo’s Dada Estate area, which has sparked a heated argument among the deceased’s children.
The children have accused Mutiu, also known as Tato, of selling the house and disturbing their parents’ graves without their knowledge or consent.
The dispute allegedly started when one of the surviving children, Mrs. Adedoyin Rukayat, found out that the family property had been sold without her knowledge or consent.
Rukayat claimed that Mutiu not only sold the house but also exhumed their parents’ remains without consulting her or their siblings.
This led Rukayat to report the incident to the Dada Estate Police Station in Osogbo, resulting in Mutiu’s arrest on December 31, 2024.
Upon arrival, police officers stopped further exhumation of their mother’s remains after the grave of the late Azeez had already been destroyed.
