The controversy surrounding the demolition of the Owo massacre cenotaph has taken a dramatic twist, as Betty Akeredolu-Anyanwu, widow of late Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, publicly slammed the Olowo of Owo, Oba Ajibade Ogunoye, describing him as a “baby Oba” and accusing him of betraying her late husband’s memory.
In an emotionally charged video shared on her verified social media platforms, the former First Lady visited her husband’s gravesite in Owo on Tuesday and expressed deep disappointment over the monarch’s alleged role in the demolition of the monument built to honour the victims of the June 2022 St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church massacre.
Visibly shaken, Betty Akeredolu expressed grief over what she called an orchestrated attempt to erase her husband’s contributions to the town.
