Man facing death threat from employer raises alarm, seeks public help

After exposing a fraudulent boss, A young Nigerian man, Olukoya Nurudeen Babajide have raised alarm over several assaults and harassment infiltrated on him and his family by his former employer.

The Ogun State, Ijebu-ode born indigene has been made to face all sorts of slash-and-burn unrest like abduction, fatigues, debacles, palpitation, and all kinds of merciless beatings to the extent of leaving his home country Nigeria just to keep his head for safety.

Nurudeen, in an interview, narrated the ordeal of how his boss duped about 150 Nigerians from different States and collected their money on the deal of securing them a government job which he was unable to get them as promised.

The boss, Idowu who is the culprit took off his heels leaving his employee to dance to the reggae’s tune and consequently making him pay with his life as he becomes the prey of the hunter, his boss.

Nurudeen revealed that his boss collected huge sum of money from them and whenever the applicants come around to ask about the job, he’s always nowhere to be found.

“A lot of them usually transfer the aggression on me and some of the members of staff. The candidates do call to ask about the job and come to look for him in the office, but he usually avoids them and gave them excuses all the time.

“There was a fateful day, they came unannounced to the office, and they destroy and damage the office, and beat us. It was in the process my left arm was broken with some other injuries I had on me. Myself and other staff were severely injured and we landed in the hospital.”

Nurudeen was shown the road to hell as his wife eloped with his first child named Marzuq.

He however revealed that the crisis started when he exposed him to the candidates that he had no job to offer them.

“He confronted me immediately and dragged me away from the office. All this were an attempt and strategies to frustrate and intimidate me not to expose the corrupt boss.”

Hell broke loose as Nurudeen received a strange call from an unknown number threatening and pressurizing him to resign or put his mother, siblings, and family’s life on the line. “I love my family and I had to resign even in the face of intimidation and death”

On the night of the 9th of November, 2015. Some masked armed men who claimed to be Herdsmen launched an attack on Nurudeen’s household with cutlasses and guns.

“My younger brother that was staying with me was assaulted, cut with a cutlass, kidnapped and my eyes and hand were tied.

“I was shot with a local gun and kept in the bush for 3 days without food, aside from giving me only water to drink and apples to eat. They later requested for my Mum’s contact, called and told her to warn me that they should not see me in the community again.

Shortly after their release, Nurudeen and his brother were taken to the hospital for thorough treatment.

“We knew that they are not Herdsmen. They just disguised themselves. We arrested my boss later on because his name was mentioned and we know with all convictions that he’s fully involved in the act.

“This entire thing was geared towards distracting me and as well as making sure the police stopped the investigation being conducted against him. I had to leave for Dubai.”.

On the 1st of June 2015, Nurudeen disclosed that while on my way back from Dubai (with his brother and his children) He discovered that a white Lexus was trailed, double-crossed, and forced into their Lexus by two heavy men and they whisked him away.

After another series of heavy torture was completed, he was maimed and later, they took his phone and announced to his mother that her son has been killed. The mother made a report to the police but nothing meaningful was done or achieved.

After 16 months of horrible experience and rigorous beatings eventually turned fate against him as he could no longer work and the company that made a resident permit for him to stay in Dubai could no longer provide him with a job which consequently led to the cancelation of his visa.
