Prophetess Esther Adeyemi, mother of Funmilola Adeyemi, the nanny who
kidnapped the Orekoya boys has called on the affected family and the
general public to have mercy on her daughter and forgive her. Mrs
Adeyemi in an interview with Saturday Sun, said Funmi, who is her first
daughter left home 10 years ago and until she was arrested and
shown in the media, she didn't know where her daughter was. Mrs
Adeyemi who is a widow, says though she is ashamed of what her daughter
did, she cannot abandon her. continue...
"All has always been well till their father died. He was killed
during the Ife and Modakeke fight. During that time, we were based in
Calabar and as expected we were evicted from the barracks and we
relocated to Osun State. He died as a Chief Superintendent of Police. Luckily, I am a
prophetess and I decided to embrace my ministry. I had to get closer
home and most importantly close to the mountain. By the grace of God, I
became popular in Lagos and Ajah. As the first daughter of the house, I wanted the best for her, so I
invested in her education. She got admission to study Survey at Osun
Polytechnic. After her graduation, she worked briefly as a receptionist
till one day in 2005, she came to me that she wanted to go back to
school for her HND. I gave her enough money to sustain her for months. This was the last
I heard from her. I was worried but anytime that I attempted to call
the police, she will call her sister and tell her that she is fine. This
always happened anytime I go to the mountain to pray. She is 35 years
and old enough to be a mother but I never knew that I had four
grandchildren from her. They kidnapped my daughter and placed her under a spell. What sort of
human being from a Christian background will suddenly decide to sell
their soul to the devil? Please, forgive my daughter and give me the chance to break the
spell. You all heard that she claimed that she wanted to expand their
family wealth. Which normal woman would be working for a man who has
refused to marry her after four children? Please, have mercy on my
daughter. I thank God that none of the kids died in the process,” she
pleaded.
On how she learnt of Funmi's arrest, Mrs Adeyemi said one of her
daughters had seen Funmi's picture on the internet and alerted her that
Funmi was in some kind of trouble.
“She called me that a lady who looks like my daughter is on her whatsapp.
I waved it aside till I saw her pictures everywhere. It was a great
shock. I prayed for the ground to open and swallow me. The shame was too
much but no matter how bad a child turns out to be, a mother cannot
abandon him or her. I am ashamed but all the same I thank God that she
is truly alive. It could be God’s way of rescuing my daughter from the hands of
those criminals. She is under a spell and almighty God will help me
deliver her,” Mrs Adeyemi stated.
When asked why she did not use her gift of prophecy to find her
daughter, Mrs. Adeyemi said:
“I never knew that she was lost, so I did
not bother focusing my prayer on her. I felt that she is an adult and should be allowed to live her life.
Most especially, since she gets in touch with her sister, I felt no
need to worry. The only time I spoke with her, she said that she was in
South Africa.”she said
