Justice For All (JUFA), a Nigeria based non governmental
organisation, has condemned the lingering manhunt for Timothy Adeniji,
an Ilorin, Kwara State based businessman, over issues bothering on
religious intolerance and marital acrimony.
The group, JUFA is rooting for Adeniji, who has suffered
unprecedented hardship from supposed in-law and has now gone
underground to safe his life.
Going underground became an option when manhunt was
intensified and enjoyment of inane rights became an issue for the
ticketing consultant as a results of series of attacks on him coupled
with attempts to get rid of him by his family and some family members
his wife, over religious differences.
Narrating Adeniji’s ordeal, President of JUFA, Comrade
Ifeoluwa Omotinugbon, said “trouble started when Timothy, a christian,
got married to Mrs. Adeniji Motunrayo Balikis, a Muslim from Ilorin on
March 17th, 2012 and converted her into Christianity upon marriage. The
marriage. The marriage produced three kids, Mary, Michael and Miracle
Adeniji.
“This action did not go down well with the immediate
family members of his wife who are devoted Muslims and considered it a
sacrilege to have lost their daughter to arrival faith,” she explained.
Meanwhile, our reporter gathered that the acrimony was
fueled by a past gory experience, prior to the marriage of Timothy and
Balikis.
Mrs Adeniji was said to have lost her father and eldest
sister to the cold hand of death. They were Alleged to have been
gruesomely assassinated by some of her kinsmen in what was said to be a
clandestine plot to having total control over the said family’s
properties.
Mrs. Adeniji was said to have been the stumbling block
to access the properties by the family members who on several occasions
have confronted her for their own cut from the left estate.
Desperation mounted as Balikis ostensibly began moves to
approach the court to legitimise her ownership of the properties
justice against the perpetrators and and possibly attempt unveiling
those responsible for the questionable deaths of her father and that of
her eldest sister.
“As the wife is being victimized by her family, the
husband, Timothy is also being persecuted by his family for kicking
against circumcision on his children.
Circumcision has often been, and remains, a subject of
controversy on a number of grounds, tradition, religious, ethical,
sexual, and medical reasons.
“In 2018, Timothy and his wife had gone to work, the
kids had been taken to school. A neighborhood friend of theirs called
Timothy on his phone not to return back home that part of their house
has been set ablaze by some men that came with a blue Toyota Corolla.
“When the situation became very terrible for them, the
wife and the kids fled to Ireland to avoid being killed, the husband,
Timothy ran away for his life. Since then, Timothy has been hiding and
moving from from place to another. Some information has it that Timothy
might have likely joined his family in Ireland,” Omotinugbon narrated.
