The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Lekan Balogun says his attention has been drawn to the various grievous allegations leveled against his only surviving brother, Dr. Sen. Mohammed Balogun by some of his children, led by Aremo Femi Balogun which has gone viral.
Oba Balogun made this known in a statement in Ibadan.
The oba said It was unfortunate to note that none of the allegations has atom of truthfulness whatsoever in it and only the author of such baseless and unfounded allegations can come up with the motive of such action which is not only defaming, but also an assassination of character.
According to Oba Balogun, he must publicly acknowledge the invaluable role his brother has been playing in his life noting that he is the only one who’s been with him through thick and thin.
He said since the publication was out, all attempts to speak with the author of the offensive and odorous report have been futile.
“Nevertheless, I have to publicly plead with my brother not to take of offense with his nephew, who must have reasoned out of sheer ignorance and exuberance, because, even in law, None of the allegations, I repeat, None of the allegations could be proved. For every sane person the publication amounts to criminal defamation of character and a violation of public peace.”
Oba Balogun added that just like every other family there are bound to be differences, but such should not be taken to the level of damaging the personality of one another.
