The Nigeria Police Force, Ondo State Command, has given the family of late Madam Kehinde Hannah Bodunde Olumomi, the go ahead to give her a proper burial in accordance with her religious faith.
The police decision follows the outcome of tests conducted on her body by Pathologists which revealed that no sign of mutilation was found on the body of late Madam Kehinde Hannah Bodunde Olumomi as reportedly claimed by the public.
The police in the statement which was obtained by Vital News on Tuesday said the result of pathologists’ physical examination of the body of Madam Kehinde Hannah Bodunde Olumomi revealed that her death was caused by debilitating illness.
It will be recalled that the late Madam Kehinde Hannah Bodunde Olumomi died in January, 2025.
In his reaction, the eldest son of the deceased, Ojo Oluwafemi commended the Nigeria Police Force, Ondo State Command, for conducting a thorough investigation process and called on stakeholders to come together and give the deceased a final befitting burial.
Oluwafemi, being the heir apparent, issued a statement to state his present position on the matter in the early hour of Tuesday, July 7, 2026 from his base in Canada.
in the statement which was circulated among media houses in Akure, Oluwafemi said the earlier accusation against siblings by members of the public was due to immense pressure from the people on the mystery surrounding the death of his mother, which caused for urgent concern.
Oluwafemi said : “My brothers; Leye and Yomi especially, only got it wrong, may be when they denied me and other family members unfettered access to mummy much more before her death.
“”Perhaps, she could have been given a better medical treatment to stay alive more, but its only God who gives and takes live.
“”I must also appreciate my half brothers for taking their time to put in their very best to take care of her during the period of her illness, I say tank you guys.
“”All allegations were made in a period of grief and confusion because while myself, the first born of the deceased, Yetunde Ojo and family were busy on the arrangement for her burial, my brothers went ahead to remove our mothers body from the mortuary without my consent nor any family involvement and still went ahead to bury our mother despite a court order not to bury her.
“Then, so much pressure, tensions and apprehension were on me, families and general public which eventually called for mummy’s exhumation by the court.
“Again, I wish to commend the effort of the Nigeria Police Force, Ondo State Command, for the recommendation given in its report that parties involved should go and reconcile their differences and come up with a better arrangement for the burial of the corpse.
I”I also appeal to members of the public, friends, relations or anyone to disregard completely, claims that mummy was used for ritual purposes.”
Oluwafemi further appealed to his immediate sister, Yetunde Ojo, most especially his brothers; Olumomi Olaleye and Yomi to “put the painful chapter behind us, heal as a family, and honour our late mum’s memory in unity, not conflict.”
He said : “his mother was an active practising Christian and a lover of God and his 6 children MUST BE UNITED as one family irrespective of past differences.”
