What was d cause of his mental issue self?

Oh My God!!! These allegations are nothing to be taken lightly. The NPF need to carry out an immediate investigation needs to be carried out to find out more about this case.

But why has it taken him 8 long months for him to come out with this story?? Nawa o.

baby_mama: They should leave his mother alone
SHe did what every loving mother would do to help a sick son
Reports say he had mental issues
She took him to get help the way she knew how and he eventually died
She didn't kill her son
There were various reports of his state before he died just like everyone is talking about Majek fashek
Tomorrow if a Concerned family member bundles him somewhere to get treated and he dies,he will be accused of murder?
They should free this grieving mother and her children please!

If the herbalist killed him,charge the herbalist with murder,Yekini's mom did not take him there to be killed but to be cured or helped
Unless the lawyer has evidence that she connived with the herbalist ahead of time to murder her own son,he should bring such evidence forth
Or else allow the woman grieve

U my dear most be so ignorant, you dont know the difference between right and wrong. So because her son had mental problems, she should carry him to a herbalist, chain him down like a dog, just to treat his 'madness'. Anyone who had a hand in his being taken to that herbalist, aided and abetted this crime. And also, herbalists are not recognised in the court of law as healers. What they did to this man was wrong and everyone knows it.
My God! We are in the 21st century. I mean there are psychiatric wards to go to if you think a person is mentally ill. Smh!

God is watching!

unstoppableme: Ten months after the death of Nigeria's all-time leading scorer, Rashidi Yekini, his lawyer, Mohammed Olanrewaju, has alleged that his client was killed.



The lawyer has also fingered members of Yekini's family as accomplices in his death.

"If I'm to file a charge against anybody it will be against his mother, his immediate sister and two brothers.

"Yekini was forcefully taken out of his house in Ibadan by herbalists and his mother was present during all of this. He was hit in the head with some charm-like stuff before he was locked in chains and taken away to Apete area in Ibadan.

"He was kept there for about three weeks during this time I had no access to him. His immediate sister, Rufiat, later told me he was chained down for this whole period and that her brother begged to allow him talk to me so that he can tell me what was being done to him. They rejected his pleas because they knew if I knew his whereabouts I'll rally round and ensure he's freed from that place," claimed Barrister Olanrewaju during a sports programme on a Lagos-based radio station, Top FM, Tuesday.

"I also wrote to the Nigeria Police informing them about the death of Rashidi Yekini. I had wanted them to provide protection to guard his house (in Ibadan) so that they will be able to preserve any evidence gathered at the house to help further investigation into his death. But the reply I got from the police was that I should arrange for private guards myself as the police cannot do me such a favour.

"I was disappointed after this because I had narrowed down the reason for protection on his property. I learnt on two occasions after Yekini was taken away that his brother and sister came to the house and took away some things. So I didn't want the investigation jeopardised with people going in and out of the house and destroying possible evidence.

"The police didn't do anything except that I was told that his death was circumstantial with no conclusive evidence. I remember that the former (Oyo State) police commissioner had to intervene on three occasions when they tried to abduct him on the grounds that he was mentally ill without a doctor's report to back their claim. He gave an order that no one should try to move near Rashidi Yekini or take him away without the consent of the Nigeria Police.

Yekini's daughter, Omoyemi, who was also a guest on the radio show, cleared the air on the purported mental state of her late father.

"I wasn't surprised (about claims that my dad was mentally unstable)," she said. "This is because people felt living alone was an evidence of his mental state. My mum tried to know why he wanted to stay alone but he insisted. I spent most of my holidays with him and whenever I was due to return to school in Osogbo he would buy all of my school materials and also give me my tuition fee."

Olanrewaju then lifted the lid on the fact that when the herbal treatment given to Yekini went awry leading to his death, the former Nigerian striker was rushed to a clinic in Apete, where the doctor pronounced him dead.

"He was rushed to a clinic in Apete. A note from the doctor said he died of a cardio issue I can't now recall," said the lawyer.

The lawyer also claimed that Yekini had fallen out with his mother over an estranged child brought into the family by another woman who he denied having anything to do with.

A book titled 'Rashidi Yekini' on the late footballer's life is expected to be unveiled in Ibadan in May this year.

Yekini died in Ibadan on May 4, 2012 at the age of 48.

Supersport.com will publish an interview with Yekini's mother as a follow-up to this latest development surrounding the death of the Nigerian legend.

Seriously? So, if someone comes forward with evidence to nail those who killed Bola Ige, Dele Giwa, and many other murder cases (high and low profile) we should tell them to shut up and take a walk so the dead can rest in peace? Well, news flash, the dead are dead, but justice should be served.

If anyone is culpable in his death, they should be brought to justice.

No herbalist killed yekini. This ungrateful nation, state of nigeria, killed yekini. Simple as abc.

Nigeria! We bury people who die under questionable circumstances without investigation

So what is the work of the police? They didn't even bother to investigate the abduction so where would the evidence have come from?

It's already obvious justice can not be served in the case of Rashidi's death, what a big shame

May his soul rest in peace

Oh! Hw hs d mighty fallen

A man's enemy are the men of his own house!!!
