This is not the best time for one, Lady Modupeola Yetunde Oginni, a Sixty (60) Year old widow of the late Mr Dimeji Ayobami Oginni as her late husband's family are hell bent to force her into another marriage to the younger brother of her late husband.
Our Correspondent gathered that Lady Modupeola Yetunde Oginni, whose information has it that she belonged to the LGBTQ group is being forced and harassed to remarry to one of her late husband's younger brother, a move that is typical to Yoruba culture and customs.
A source who pleaded for anonymity said, following the death of Mr Dimeji Ayobami Oginni, the family based on the culture and customs of the family, 'willed' Lady Modupeola Yetunde Oginni to her late husband brother, Mr Taiwo Seun Oginni, a situation she saw to be against her wish.
Our source said the family adopted series of measures to force Lady Modupeola Yetunde Oginni for her to obey the laid down custom of her husband's family, but she rejected all the move because according to the findings she is a member of a sexual status of lesbianism, a group the late husband family seriously kicked against.
"Following the death of her husband, Dimeji Ayobami Oginni on 10th October 2021, she decided to join a membership of a social group of lesbianism one month after the demise of her husband.
"Upon the late Husband's Family being aware of her membership in this social group, they summoned her to the family meeting after six months of her husband's death that it is their family's custom and tradition that any woman who married a man and loses him must be ready to remarry to another man in that same family (Oginni).
"All her late husband's family unanimously agreed that she should remarry her late husband's younger brother named Taiwo Seun Oginni, a 45 year old man already married with 3 wives and 12 Children, which lady Modupeola Yetunde Oginni refused to comply with.
On several occasions, for example on 1st and 24th February 2022, when she and her partner, named Lady Toyin Akiode, also a 60 year old widow whom she truly loves went to enjoy themselves in an hotel, some of her husband family came to meet her and her partner, Toyin Akiode in the hotel to harass and embarrassed her. And in that way, the husband's family continually harass and dehumanize her.
On 10th March, 2023, Lady Modupeola Yetunde Oginni was again summoned to the late Husband's Family meeting that she has to come and swear at the family's shrine to remarry her late husband's younger brother, Taiwo Seun Oginni, and that she should desist from being a membership and particular social group, Lesbianism, date and have to perform the swearing at the family shrine was given her.
Lady Modupeola Yetunde Oginni immediately passed that information to her partner, Lady Toyin Akiode and they immediately reported at the Police Station.
The Police were informed already to be around at a particular date to prevent Lady Modupeola Yetunde Oginni from swearing at the shrine.
While the swearing was about to commence, a Police man came and quickly rescued her from the scene and took them and two men were arrested and taken to the police station for further interrogation.
Later the two men were released from the police Station after informing the police that it is their custom and tradition to do the swearing at the shrine because she has refused to remarry from the Oginni family and because it is an abomination for any woman who married a man from their family to be a member of any social group which Lady Modupeola Yetunde Oginni belongs to.
The late husband's family has already taken possession of her husband's properties, these include a 3-bedroom bungalow building, landed Property, 2 Cars, Company Shares and many other things that belong to her late husband.
She has since been staying in her partner's apartment since she was sent out of her husband's house.
Lady Modupeola Yetunde Oginni is highly afraid of her life and is in danger and at risk if she continues to stay in the country (Nigeria) because her late husband's family has vowed, insisted, threatened and ensured that they kill her if she does not do their wish and command.
