In a dramatic turn in an ongoing legal showdown, prominent entrepreneur Oluwasegun Rolland Elusoji has gone public with chilling threats against his life and that of his family, allegedly linked to his legal battles with influential figure Otunba Adeseye Joseph Famojuro.
Elusoji revealed that the threats began on August 26, 2025, when Famojuro reportedly called some of his associates, vowing to “finish me” and make him “disappear from this earth.” Famojuro allegedly taunted Elusoji, warning that he “does not know who he is” and promising to destroy his reputation nationwide.
The intimidation escalated two days later when Famojuro reportedly contacted Elusoji’s sister, reiterating threats against the family, including his elderly parents. “These threats have left my entire family living in fear, and we are genuinely concerned for our safety,” Elusoji said.
Elusoji claims that Famojuro’s campaign of terror has extended to people close to him, with repeated references to prior incidents involving an associate known as Auxiliary, signaling a dangerous pattern of intimidation.
Sources close to the matter reveal that the threats coincide with a heated legal battle between Elusoji and Famojuro, raising concerns that the intimidation may be a deliberate attempt to influence the outcome of the case. Legal experts warn that such actions constitute serious criminal offenses under Nigerian law—including intimidation, harassment, and threats to life—and could worsen Famojuro’s legal position if proven.
“Since then, he has been contacting individuals close to me, threatening them as well,” Elusoji explained. “He has repeatedly stated that he will make me disappear from this earth and further warned me to ‘go and ask what he did to Auxiliary.’ These threats have placed my family and me in constant fear. At present, the Nigerian Police Force appears so compromised that urgent matters like this are not treated with the seriousness they deserve, simply because he is in a position of power.” The Issue of Alhaji Mukaila Lamidi known as Auxilliary is quite a different case as no one knows what transpired between them in Oyo state park issues but Elusoji Court case is both in USA and Nigeria. So comparing both is not sensisble at all.
“This is more than just a legal battle,” Elusoji continued. “It has become a fight for our very survival. We are appealing to IGP Kayode Egbetokun and all relevant authorities to take urgent action before it is too late.” This Adeseye has failed to show up in the Court case in USA and Nigeria. So why go ahead to declare someone wanted or resort to threat to life of his loved Ones.
The allegations have sparked outrage among human rights advocates, who are calling for immediate protection for Elusoji and his family. Critics are questioning whether law enforcement can act impartially, given the alleged perpetrator’s influence. Who is afraid of Adeseye, is it the police or EFCC? is it because he is Governor Makinde's ally or is he the Governor?
Observers warn that the case could set a precedent for how citizens are treated when threatened by powerful individuals, stressing the urgent need for transparency, accountability, and protection of life—irrespective of status or influence.
As the legal battle rages on, the nation watches closely, with many calling for swift action to ensure that justice prevails and that no one is above the law.
