What started like a meredisagreement threat on April 11, 2015 between Wahab Idowu , a traditional healer, and some loyalists of Ajoriwin of Irawo, Oba Musiliu Ademola, soon snowballed into full blown violence that ruptured the peaceful atmosphere of Irawo, Atisbo Local Government Area of Oyo State.
By the time that the dust settled, the violence had left in its trail sorrow, anguish, tears and death. Unfortunately, it claimed the life of an innocent six month old baby, Azeem Wahab.
Though, it happened some weeks ago, both sides of the crisis are still biting their fingers in sorrow and regret.
But, Wahab Idowu is the worst-hit. Apart from losing all he has labored hard to get in life, the promising and glittering sun of baby Azeem was forced to set at dawn. It was not his death that would make the heart bleed but the cruel manner he was reportedly killed.

According to Wahab, who narrated his ordeal to Sunday Vanguard, the mother told him that it was one Ojo (surname withheld) that snatched the baby that was strapped to her back during the melee and allegedly smashed him to the ground with a raging fury.
The impact was so much for the baby that he died the following day.
According to a medical certificate of death signed April 30, 2015, by a doctor from the General Hospital, Tede, baby Azeem died as a result of the effects of trauma he suffered.
