26yr old pregnant woman shot dead during OPC/oil bunkers crossfire in Ogun

Oluwadamilola Fajana, a 26 year old pregnant law graduate of the Ekiti state University was killed by a stray bullet during a crossfire between OPC members and oil bunkers in Arepo Ogun state on April 29th. Damilola who was married and was 6 months pregnant, was on her way back from work when she drove into the crossfire and was killed by a stray bullet.

In a statement released today May 4th, Mr Ojo Babafemi, the deceased father accused President Jonathan of being an accomplice in the death of his daughter, saying if the President Jonathan had not empowered OPC members and given their leaders such as Gani Adams oil wells located in their area, his daughter and his unborn grandchild wouldn't have been killed. Read his statement after the cut...


"The outgoing president, Goodluck Jonathan, has, by the virtue of his empowering miscreants who go by the name Odua Peoples Congress (OPC), sent me and my family into a deep mourning since last Wednesday. The president, by the unconstitutional empowerment of the ethnic militia which has through their clashes with pipeline vandals, killed so many innocent Nigerians, particularly in Arepo area of Ogun State.

My daughter, Oluwadimilola Adebimpe Fajana-Ojo, was killed in crossfire while driving back home after a hard day’s job. President Jonathan is linked to her the death by the reason of his patronage of people who have no basic training in arms and weaponry in the business of pipeline protection, which is a very dangerous security enterprise supposed to fall under the purview of the trained Nigerian security agencies. President Goodluck Jonathan is culpable of the death of Damilola Fajana and that of others by the virtue of his morbid desperation for political power, which led him to awarding this senseless contract of his to OPC in return for political support in Lagos state.

He is equally guilty of my daughter’s death by his withdrawing the trained security personnel, the police, the army and the civil defence corps from doing their constitutional duties of protecting Nigerian people and their properties and replacing them with untrained miscreants by the name of OPC. It is my hope that the incoming General Buahari administration will revoke this obnoxious and misplaced pipeline contract, and restore peace and normalcy back to Arepo and it’s environment.

This can only be done by returning the Nigerian security agencies back to the area. This will stop the current bloodletting and unnecessary blood shedding of innocent Nigerians, just because a desperate man like Dr Jonathan wants to win elections. By this, the death of my pregnant daughter Mrs Damilola Fajana Née Ojo, my unborn grandchild, and that of others will not go unsung. It is my hope also that the Ogun state government, will institute a probe panel into this notorious and inhuman killing and maiming of innocent Nigerians resident in Ogun state all in the name of protecting petrol pipe lines.

As for Dr Jonathan, I will not curse but will not also pray but all I will say is that God will judge him accordingly if his decision of arming ethnic militias has done more harm to the Nigerian people than good. And to his co-travellers in the business of looting and killing Nigerians in the name of protecting pipelines, may peace and hamony be strangers in their homes just like they did to my home over the avoidable killing of my meek and promising daughter whose light they extinguished in her prime.

May the good Lord grant Barrister Damilola Adebimpe Fajana Née Ojo and other innocent Nigerians who were victims of President Jonathan and his OPC killer contractors eternal rest and our families the fortitude to bear the loss" the statement read

I am not a Jonathan fan but what has he got to do with this killing.It is so sad to loose someone but 2 at the same time.Quite unfortunate.All the people directly involved should be dealt with by the appropriate authority. Accept my condolences sir

I watched this fracas on channels news.According to the police and civil defense formerly guarding that area,they were directed to stand down for the OPC members that had just been given the right to protect the areas.

My problem with our government (not only the president Jonathan administration) is that they empower (monetarily and with weapons) these hoodlums before elections.That's how the lunatics in the north started years ago.The militants in the south south,the crazy ones in the south east and now these Indian hemp smoking morons in the south west.The government empowers them for political gains and afterwards they start scrambling from pillars to posts trying to clean up the mess that comes with it.Residents of that area say they don't sleep anymore as the air is now filled with gun shot sounds on a daily basis.

Mr president is on his way to otuoke to rest yet families in Arepo have had their rest shattered.

Senseless. In as much as I sympathize with you on your loss oga, mentioning of GEJ & desperation of power is totally gibberish. It's unfortunate your daughter was caught up in this incidence.
Arepo is well known for its constant pipeline vandalism. Over the years, security personnel had fought them tooth and nail, many of them lost their lives at the process leaving their families behind. It was discovered the vandals don't just operate with hard weapons alone, they add charms.
The question is, who are this vandals? Where do they come from? Don't tell me they r total strangers to ogun state, & who are they working for.
OPC you mentioned isn't from Jonathan's region. Enough of us blaming every single thing that happens on the government while we neglect our parts of better tomorrow.
A school drop-out child of yours without handwork is making big money on a daily basis, you don't care about the source of his/her income, if anything goes wrong anytime it's the government's fault. This backward mentality must stop.
Buhari will take over power soon, I'm sure you heard him say 'don't expect a miracle'.
We have our parts to play likewise the government. Take responsibility.

A Nigerian died in senseless shooting who would have thought. A few weeks ago there was misplaced anger on us South Africans in our country when no Nigerian dies. It was a trending topic in your social media circles. When you point three fingers are pointing at yourselves. And the rapes by Boko Haram and murders, bombs. Never mind its all about Zenophobia against Nigeria that never happened and pretending our president apologized. For what. We have more businesses and ties in SADC Nigeraia has nothing we cant do without. You produce oil and you don't have fuel. There is plenty on the pumps in South Africa. Have a happy week

Very sad. May God grant the family the fortitude to bear the loss. This is what happens when ethnic militia, people with history of carrying arms against the state and without basic training in handling weapons are patronized by government for political favors. Linda Ikeji, I read through the statement, there was no place the family mentioned Gani Adams or oil wells. The family were rather concerned with government giving arms to untrained miscreants like OPC which could lead to further clashes and avoidable deaths. Why will you misrepresent the family's statement at this painful time. That is vile, highly insensitive and heartless of you (Linda).

It's indeed a sad death. I stay in arepo and d truth be told Linda what dis oil vandals do in d night is so much. U see someone staying at home all tru d day but goes out at midnight and they all own nice cars and houses. If any LIB reader stays in arepo u will agree with me dat dis vandals do not hide at all. My point is nobody is arresting dem, nobody dares says a thing to them. This is not d first killing in arepo and am sure it wunt be d last. Pls Linda help get d right people involve so we can all sleep 100% soundly at night. Thanks u doing a good job. RIP bimpe.

Henry Eze, how dare you joke with such a sensitive matter. You call a man who has lost a gem a stupid man? Someone who is even old enough to be ur father? Take a walk in his shoes and see what it feels like to lose a family member. If u know boredom has finished u and u have nothing to do with ur Poverty-stricken life, why not find something else to do; wash plates, sweep ur compound or pick beans instead of wallowing in abject stupidity. What will somebody not see from all dis small small children dat dir mums just bought phones for and dey are trying to feel relevant on social media. Henry Eze is an idiot.
