Recounting his story to mynigeria TV, he recalled taking his bread to the Agege market in Nigeria to sell but on his way, he came across some men who accosted him, demanding to know if he belonged to the Hausa tribe, some of whose members murdered the political leader, Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, popularly known as M.K.O Abiola.

He was a Nigerian businessman, publisher and politician. He was also the Aare Ona Kankafo XIV of Yorubaland.

Chief Abiola was assassinated on July 7, 1998.
