Osun Chief Suspended Over Viral Poisoning Video
The Ijesa Sports Club in Ilesa, Osun State, has suspended one of its members, Chief Gbenga Ajibade, who was alleged to have poisoned a young man for allegedly stealing his corn.
The Director of Social and Publicity of the club, Kenneth Opebiyi, announced the suspension in a statement on Wednesday.
In a video watched by OSUN DEFENDER, a man who was said to be the suspended chief was seen giving the young man a liquid substance.
The suspect who spoke in Yoruba language in the video was heard telling the young man, “I will not do anything to you, once I give you this milk, you can go.”
But since the video went viral, netizens have called for proper investigation and punishment for the chief.
According to the statement, the executive committee of the club held an emergency meeting on August 6, 2025, over the issue.
Following a majority decision, “the committee agreed to suspend Chief Ajibade pending the outcome of ongoing police investigations,” the statement noted.
The club stated that it would initiate its own disciplinary process after the conclusion of the external investigations.
Ijesa Sports Club emphasised its commitment to upholding the values of justice, community respect, and accountability.
The club reiterated that no individual’s actions should bring shame to the institution or undermine the dignity of others.
