The CMD of Ikere Ekiti General Hospital Dr. Olaoluwa Olubiyi has broken his silence following the allegation leveled against him over the battering of his wife Mrs Olubiyi a lecturer at the Ekiti State University EKSU.
Dr. Olubiyi who was alleged to have beaten his wife into coma has come out to deny the allegations. Olubiyi who spoke through his Lawyer Opeyemi / Ogunremi Chambers said Dr. Olubiyi who is their client was not violent contrary to reports making rounds in the media.
The Press release made available to journalists, the chambers and signed by the lead counsel Opeyemi Ogunremi Esq. maintained that the issue is being treated by family members in the interest of couple.
Part of the release read;
We are Counsel to the Chief Medical Director of General Hospital, Ikere, Dr Olaoluwa Olubiyi.
In the last few days, we’ve been inundated with a lot of stories in the press regarding the disagreement between Dr Olaoluwa Olubiyi and his wife but we decided not to immediately respond because, one; it’s a family affair and two; both husband and wife, Dr Adenike Olubiyi are public servants in the employ of Ekiti State Government.
However, the details have been twisted to portray my client in a bad light and
in view of the twist of events over this matter, we’ve resolved to put the record straight with the intention of ensuring a harmonious relationship in the marriage for the sake of the family.
In the first instance, we want to categorically state that the issue between Dr Olaoluwa Olubiyi and his wife, Dr (Mrs) Adenike Olubiyi is not a fresh issue as portrayed but has been lingering for over two years where she packed out of the house and still returned to give room for reconcilation.No mistress is pregnant now or living with the family. Dr Olubiyi Olaolu has a child out of wedlock which happened a long time ago.
The fact that she again secretly parked out with their children without my client’s knowledge is what led to the recent disagreement. There was no beating to a pulp or strangulation.
Moreover, it’s a family affair which has nothing to do with their respective official responsibilities and it is already being looked into by the family to avoid degenerating into irreconcilable situation. Efforts are already in place to get across to both parties.
The chambers therefore appealed to the members of the public, particularly members of the press to treat the issue with caution so as not to disorganize the family and throw the children to everlasting sorrow.
