He described as “ridiculous” the claim that he had gone missing after he disobeyed her mother’s spiritual message against getting married on the wrong date and that the police should look for him. Ms. Martins, who is an estranged wife of ex-president Obasanjo, had last week said in an interview with a national newspaper that Olujonwo was missing and that security agents had been alerted to search for him. But in a statement signed by Olujonwo and made available to reporters in Abeokuta, the former president’s son wondered how he could be looked for at his age. The statement titled, “I am neither missing nor lost” was dated February 7. Olujowon explained that on his own volition, he decided to keep away from his mother for now. He said, “At my age of over 34 years, it is ridiculous to extreme that my mother would ask the Police to look for me. I am well, alive and kicking and the Police need not look for me. “For peace in my life, I have decided to keep away from my mother for now. She should not make me part of her seeking media attention. “My siblings and others in my family who care about me without negative influence and abhorrent action know my whereabouts and we keep interacting and communicating. “My father, who has supported me and my decisions in every aspect of my life, has been in constant communication with me and he is aware that I am hale and hearty. This is my personal and deliberate decision.” On the controversy surrounding his marriage, Olujowon said he is old enough to marry and manage his marriage, “including to decide what to do with it, if the need ever arises.” “I don’t want crocodile tears nor undue publicity from anybody,” he added. It will be recalled that Ms. Martins last week claimed that her estranged husband, Chief Obasanjo, has a question to answer on her son’s whereabouts. Last year, she filed a suit at an Ikeja High Court, seeking to stop the wedding of her son scheduled for May but lost the suit. She had objected to the timing of the wedding based on a prophecy and also insisted that her son’s wedding should be quiet.]]>
