According to him, the attackers repeatedly demanded to know his whereabouts and insisted on being shown his late brother’s room and personal belongings. “I was in Osogbo three days ago when Taiwo’s wife called me, and her voice was shaking. She said armed robbers came to the house asking, ‘Where is Kehinde? Where is Taiwo’s room where he died? Where is their jewellery? Where is Taiwo’s phone? Where is the car key?’ They said they came because of me,” he said. Mr Adegbodu added that one of the robbers allegedly contacted a superior on the phone during the operation to report that he was not at home. Link to burial donations The singer linked the attack to financial support received during his brother’s burial, particularly funds raised by fellow gospel artiste Yinka Ayefele. He suggested that the attackers may have acted on the assumption that the donations were still available in cash. “I think the robbers thought that the money raised for us was still with me. They don’t even care that we are mourning,” he said. Providing clarification, Mr Adegbodu explained that the funds had already been expended on burial arrangements and an ongoing building project initiated to facilitate his brother’s interment. He also expressed his willingness to make his financial records public to dispel the assumption that he was holding large sums of money.

They are scared to sleep in the house,” he said, appealing to the perpetrators to stay away from the family. Mr Adegbodu urged the public to show understanding as the family continues to mourn, noting that the attack has compounded their grief. “We are still grieving. People should please understand and allow us to heal,” he said.
