Festus Adetona, Canada-based younger brother of Joseph Adetola, who was allegedly beaten to death by his mother’s tenants, tells DARE AKOGUN about his sibling’s attack, the family’s previous disputes with the tenants, the police response and his demand for justice.How old was your brother before he died?Joseph Adetola was my elder brother. He was 45 years old. He was born on October 14, 1981, and he was unemployed.What exactly happened to your brother?He was attacked and killed after an argument. This incident happened on Friday, August 21, 2026, at our family house at 11 Palace Road, Epe. The street is off Kalesanmi Street and leads to the Eid Ground. Anyone familiar with Epe should know the area.My brother had been having constant arguments and fights with some of the tenants living in the house.Where was your brother when he was attacked?He was inside his room in our mother’s house. I was told that another altercation had started between him and one of the tenants. The next thing was that they reportedly ganged up against him and broke into his room through the window. They tied him up like a thief and beat him until he died.When did you get the news of your brother’s death?I was informed around 12 am, my time here in Calgary, Canada. That should have been around 7 am Nigerian time.It was my younger sister, my stepsister, Simbiat, who called me. She said the mother of one of the ringleaders among the perpetrators called her and told her to come to Epe because my brother was no longer breathing.But she did not initially tell her the full story of what happened or that my brother had been beaten to death. By the time my sister got there, the people involved had already run away.Do you know the people who attacked him?I know one of them. I saw him the last time I travelled to Nigeria for my mother’s burial. I don’t know his real name, but they call him “Yellow” because he is very fair-complexioned. He is one of the tenants in the house and has had issues with my brother in the past.How many people were involved in the attack?To be honest, I don’t know the exact number of people who attacked him. They were from the three houses around our mother’s property. There is a blue house in front of my mother’s property and a bungalow with a mosque behind the property. After the incident, those houses were empty because the occupants had all run away.What objects did the attackers use in beating him?They used planks and stones. I was also told that after tying his hands to his legs, they drove a nail into his genitals.Did anyone try to help him after the attack?No, nobody tried to help him or take him to the hospital. They left him on the floor to die. He was already dead before my sister arrived. She found him lying dead on the floor.Were the police informed about the incident?Yes, we reported the matter at the Epe Police Division. The police had actually come in the night when the incident started, before my brother was killed. But they did not make any arrest at that time; they said they would return in the morning.By the time they came back in the morning, they found my brother’s corpse, while the perpetrators had already fled.Has anybody been arrested?Yes, the police arrested one person. But the person arrested is the brother of one of the alleged perpetrators. The main people involved are still at large. The houses where some of the suspects live are now empty. They all ran away after the incident.Was your brother having problems with the tenants before he was attacked?Yes. He had been in constant arguments and fights with some of the tenants. I am personally not a fan of the tenants because when I brought my mother here to Canada, she also complained bitterly about them.After we buried my mother, I told my younger brother and my stepfather that I wanted all the tenants to leave the house. Most of them had not paid their rent.I was even willing to refund the full amount to anyone who had paid rent, just to de-escalate the problems they were constantly having with my brother.So, are you saying there was a dispute over the house before the incident?Yes, there were disagreements between my brother and some of the tenants. That was why I wanted everybody to leave the house after my mother’s burial. I wanted the situation to be de-escalated, but unfortunately, this happened.This comes barely two months after you lost your mother. How has your family been coping?It is very depressing. My mother died on June 17, 2026. She had been sick since last year, which was understandable, but she was recovering until Sallah this year.I travelled to Nigeria for her burial, and now, barely two months later, we have lost my brother in such horrible circumstances. It has been extremely difficult for the family.What do you want the authorities to do?I am not asking for too much. I just want justice; nobody deserves to die in these circumstances. I want the perpetrators arrested and brought before a court of law. I want the court to decide their fate.I don’t want this matter swept under the carpet. The people responsible should be arrested and made to face the law. That is all we are asking for. How old was your brother before he died?Joseph Adetola was my elder brother. He was 45 years old.

She found him lying dead on the floor.Were the police informed about the incident?Yes, we reported the matter at the Epe Police Division. The police had actually come in the night when the incident started, before my brother was killed. But they did not make any arrest at that time; they said they would return in the morning.By the time they came back in the morning, they found my brother’s corpse, while the perpetrators had already fled.Has anybody been arrested?Yes, the police arrested one person. But the person arrested is the brother of one of the alleged perpetrators. The main people involved are still at large. The houses where some of the suspects live are now empty. They all ran away after the incident.Was your brother having problems with the tenants before he was attacked?Yes. He had been in constant arguments and fights with some of the tenants. I am personally not a fan of the tenants because when I brought my mother here to Canada, she also complained bitterly about them.After we buried my mother, I told my younger brother and my stepfather that I wanted all the tenants to leave the house. Most of them had not paid their rent.I was even willing to refund the full amount to anyone who had paid rent, just to de-escalate the problems they were constantly having with my brother.So, are you saying there was a dispute over the house before the incident?Yes, there were disagreements between my brother and some of the tenants. That was why I wanted everybody to leave the house after my mother’s burial. I wanted the situation to be de-escalated, but unfortunately, this happened.This comes barely two months after you lost your mother. How has your family been coping?It is very depressing. My mother died on June 17, 2026. She had been sick since last year, which was understandable, but she was recovering until Sallah this year.I travelled to Nigeria for her burial, and now, barely two months later, we have lost my brother in such horrible circumstances. It has been extremely difficult for the family.What do you want the authorities to do?I am not asking for too much. I just want justice; nobody deserves to die in these circumstances. I want the perpetrators arrested and brought before a court of law. I want the court to decide their fate.I don’t want this matter swept under the carpet. The people responsible should be arrested and made to face the law. That is all we are asking for. When did you get the news of your brother’s death?I was informed around 12 am, my time here in Calgary, Canada. That should have been around 7 am Nigerian time.It was my younger sister, my stepsister, Simbiat, who called me. She said the mother of one of the ringleaders among the perpetrators called her and told her to come to Epe because my brother was no longer breathing.But she did not initially tell her the full story of what happened or that my brother had been beaten to death. By the time my sister got there, the people involved had already run away.Do you know the people who attacked him?I know one of them. I saw him the last time I travelled to Nigeria for my mother’s burial. I don’t know his real name, but they call him “Yellow” because he is very fair-complexioned. He is one of the tenants in the house and has had issues with my brother in the past.How many people were involved in the attack?To be honest, I don’t know the exact number of people who attacked him. They were from the three houses around our mother’s property. There is a blue house in front of my mother’s property and a bungalow with a mosque behind the property. After the incident, those houses were empty because the occupants had all run away.What objects did the attackers use in beating him?They used planks and stones. I was also told that after tying his hands to his legs, they drove a nail into his genitals.Did anyone try to help him after the attack?No, nobody tried to help him or take him to the hospital. They left him on the floor to die. He was already dead before my sister arrived.

I wanted the situation to be de-escalated, but unfortunately, this happened.This comes barely two months after you lost your mother. How has your family been coping?It is very depressing. My mother died on June 17, 2026. She had been sick since last year, which was understandable, but she was recovering until Sallah this year.I travelled to Nigeria for her burial, and now, barely two months later, we have lost my brother in such horrible circumstances. It has been extremely difficult for the family.What do you want the authorities to do?I am not asking for too much. I just want justice; nobody deserves to die in these circumstances. I want the perpetrators arrested and brought before a court of law. I want the court to decide their fate.I don’t want this matter swept under the carpet. The people responsible should be arrested and made to face the law. That is all we are asking for. Did anyone try to help him after the attack?No, nobody tried to help him or take him to the hospital. They left him on the floor to die. He was already dead before my sister arrived. She found him lying dead on the floor.Were the police informed about the incident?Yes, we reported the matter at the Epe Police Division. The police had actually come in the night when the incident started, before my brother was killed. But they did not make any arrest at that time; they said they would return in the morning.By the time they came back in the morning, they found my brother’s corpse, while the perpetrators had already fled.Has anybody been arrested?Yes, the police arrested one person. But the person arrested is the brother of one of the alleged perpetrators. The main people involved are still at large. The houses where some of the suspects live are now empty. They all ran away after the incident.Was your brother having problems with the tenants before he was attacked?Yes. He had been in constant arguments and fights with some of the tenants. I am personally not a fan of the tenants because when I brought my mother here to Canada, she also complained bitterly about them.After we buried my mother, I told my younger brother and my stepfather that I wanted all the tenants to leave the house.
