Osun Man Sells Family House, Exhumes Parents’ Corpses

The Osun State Police Command is investigating allegations against one Mutiu Rauf Okunola, who reportedly sold his late parents’ family home and exhumed their corpses without his siblings’ consent.

The property located at Dada Estate, Osogbo, sparked a dispute after one of the siblings, Mrs. Adedoyin Rukayat, discovered the sale. Rukayat alleged that Mutiu, also known as Tato, sold the house and tampered with their parents’ graves without consulting the other siblings—Fatimo, Khadijat, Teslim, and Quadri Rauf.

The matter was reported to the Dada Estate Police Station, leading to Mutiu’s arrest on December 31, 2024.

It was gathered that the intervention of the police halted further exhumation after the grave of their father, Pa Azeez Rauf, had been disturbed.
