Who Killed MKO Abiola’s Brother, Tunde Ex-Husband Of Nollywod Actress Clarion Chukwura?



A former husband of veteran Nollywood actress, Clarion Chukwura, is dead.

Mr. Tunde Abiola, a Lagos based socialite, whose two years marriage to the actress crashed ten years ago, reportedly died in a mysterious circumstance a while after he allegedly had a tussle with one of the wives of his late elder brother and business mogul, Chief MKO Abiola over the latter’s vast properties.


The late younger Abiola was once the toast of star musicians in Nigeria owing to his free mixing and spending nature
Few hours to the 24th year anniversary of the June 12, 1993  Presidential election won by late Ogun State (South Western Nigeria) born business mogul cum politician, Basorun Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (MKO) Abiola, the question raging the entire family of the late Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yoruba land in Lagos & Abeokuta is “Who killed Engineer Tunde Saliu Abiola?”.
Engineer Tunde Abiola formally married to a famous Nigerian actressClarion Chukwura Abiola didn’t just died under some mysterious circumstances on Wednesday 24th of May, 2017 but allegedly lost his sanity, possession and family peace to one Mrs. Dele Dasaoulu Abiolaan ex-concubine of his elder brother and late June 12, 1993 presidential election winner. To the consent of the larger members of the family,Tunde Abiola’s death was fast tracked by the clandestine actions of Mrs.Dele Desaolu Abiola who is alleged to have engaged the late Tunde Abiola in an over 18 years war of calumny over a real estate on No 22, Ladipo Kuku Street, off Toyin Street, Ikeja—Lagos belonging to Bashorun MKO Abiola.

History of the brother versus concubine war
According to very reliable family sources, MKO Abiola in his life time had gifted a real estate to his half brother, Engineer Tunde Abiola whom he sent to America in the late 80s to study Engineering in order to work for his firm ITT. The Property which was a real estate situated on N0 22, Ladipo Kuku Street, in the heart of Ikeja—Lagos was one of the numerous properties of the late business mogul scattered aroundLagos.  The building was allegedly used for his 1993 Presidential election tagged ‘Hope 93’ as one of the campaign offices in Lagos West Senatorial District. However, on the return of Tunde Abiola to Nigeria on the order of his elder brother; MKO was said to have tried to makeTunde comfortable as he sensed that the young engineer was already lost to the life style of comfort and opportunities in America and didn’t really fancied coming home again. He was said to have began a new family in the USA with three kids to his credit from one Mrs. Islar Abiola,his first wife.


However, family sources claimed MKO dragged him down to Nigeriawith the  promise of maximum comfort and among which is the gifting of the said N0 22, Ladipo Kuku Street two wing duplex to him.  Our sources further claimed that MKO did the giving out of the property toTunde through a ‘deed of gift’ in 1992. Engineer Tunde Abiola on returning to Nigeria was equally conscripted into the MKO Abiola Presidential campaign team (Hope 93) as he did some foot work for his brother’s political vehicle including travelling and coordinating some foreign activities for his larger-than-life brother, MKO.

A top family source told Asabeafrika that MKO had given the property to Tunde Abiola as a birthday gift on his 30th birthday. On returning fully to Nigeria, MKO was equally alleged to have given Tunde a sizeable amount of money to start life afresh and live comfortable in Nigeria as he was going into politics at the time.


The Woman who married at the center of the crisis, Dele Dasaolu Abiola
Who is the Lady, Dele Dasaolu? Where did she emerge from? What is her role in the larger MKO Abiola family and why did she go to this extent of trying to retrieve a property from her supposed husband’s younger brother? Thereby leading to his untimely death at age 54? Did MKO Abiola really willed the property to her? Did she have a court eviction note to evict Tunde Abiola on May 19 or she acted out of the prism of law? These are questions begging for answers at the moment in the MKO Abiola family and among concerned Nigerians.
According to very reliable sources, the story of the Ilaro, Ogun State born Mrs. Dele Dasaolu Abiola is like the story of the proverbial ‘Queen Digger’ who comes to get all she wants at all cost and ensure she gets it no matter the cost. To her, the end surely justifies the means. Although, Mrs. Dasaolu appears calm in her picture but sources close to Abiola family who spoke to Asabeafrika described her as ‘mean, swift and callous in nature’ (This is what sources claim she is, not our opinion) Her past and recent actions seems to justify the description above as her action either by fault or default has led to the death of three blood brothers in quick succession.  Mrs. Dele Dasaolu Abiola was said to have married one of MKO Abiola’s younger brother, one Engineer Olayiwola Abiola in the 80s and had two kids for him (A boy and a Girl). However, it appeared the fair complexioned lady was more interested in her husband’s elder brother who was a super-rich Nigerian at the time as she was alleged to have ignited a subtle romance with her husband’s elder brother, MKO. Close family sources claimed that Dele forced her way into MKO Abiola’s heart and began a discreet romance with him under some mysterious circumstances. It was around this time and season that her genuine husband, Engineer Layi allegedly died under equally strange circumstances. Family sources claimed that Doctor Report revealed that he died of food poison.

Late Chief MKO Abiola, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yoruba land
It was after Layiwola’s death that Dele reportedly moved in with MKO Abiola and the business mogul flew her to London and bought her a brand new property in a Prime Avenue in London. Both of them lived as husband and wife till MKO joined politics and eventually died in July 1998.  Sources claimed that Dele’s issue really set the late politician against some of his brothers and relatives who found the entire saga strange; they never liked the idea of ‘taking over a late younger brother’s wife’. They claimed that in Yoruba land, a brother can only marry his late elder brother’s wife not the other way round. However, it was largely agreed that the kind hearted MKO Abiola didn’t act with his ordinary senses as they suspected that this Ilaro born woman might have charmed the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yoruba land, thereby making him to behave in certain manners beyond his reasoning.


Dele was said to have within the period of her marriage to MKO raised kids for him as well (Family sources claim 5—2boys & 3 girls). In the course of their relationship, albeit, without a concrete marriage than mere relationship, Dele was able to steal the heart of the legendary MKO Abiola even though many of his brothers frowned at the situation as they silently grieved the death of Olayiwola their brother whom they suspected Dele poisoned in order to marry MKO. They grieved among themselves because Olayiwola was a promising young man with a German education in system engineering. He was allegedly wasted in his prime and never to return to life again. With MKO Abiola in the firm grip of Dele Desaolu, it was obvious that more battles were ahead to be fought to reach the ‘promise land’ (Dele’s promise land)

The battle for N0 22, Ladipo Kuku Street…
Number 22 Ladipo Kuku Street, taken down by mysterious AIG or by Dele Desaolu Abiola?

The woman Mrs. Dasaolu allegedly planted in the 2nd wing to monitor Engineer Tunde Abiola & his family and who gave her the hint that Tunde Abiola has been rushed to the Hospital before thugs arrived
Asabeafrika investigation revealed that the battle for the said property that led to the death of Engineer Tunde Abiola on May 24th, 2017 started immediately after the incarceration of MKO Abiola in 1994 and became fierce in 1999, a year after his demise. According to reliable sources in the family, Dele had returned from London on the eve of MKO Abiola’s presidential campaign in 1993, and as one of his ‘most powerful concubines’, MKO was said to have kept her at close range, and under the care of the late Tunde Abiola.
According to undisputable sources, MKO begged Tunde to let her have a wing of the now embattled No 22, Ladipo Kuku Street, off Allen Avenue property to herself. Even though, sources sympathetic to Mrs. Dele Desaolu told this blog that Tunde initially kicked against his brother’s plan to put the woman under his wing as the entire Abiola family were bitter with her over the circumstance of her marriage to MKO Abiola, but he had to respect his brother’s wish at that material time as the property equally served as one of his brother’s political campaign offices and since she was equally working for his campaign, it was normal he shelter her.

She allegedly had the left wing of the property to herself for the main time of the presidential campaign and election. She was said to have equally joined MKO like many of his other women to carry out certain activities for the purpose of ‘Hope 93’. Her ultimate hope was that MKO would win the election and be ultimately declared president of Nigeria and by extension; she would become ‘one of Nigeria’s most influential women’. However, her hope was dashed as the military establishment annulled MKO Abiola’s election in July 1993 and called for a new exercise. The entire scenario allegedly put spanner in the wheel of Mrs. Dele Desaolu Abiola’s Big Man’s wife plan, and the aftermath is what culminated in the May 24th 2017 death of Engineer Tunde Saliu Abiola. 

The battle for an inheritance in Nigeria

More details revealed that Mrs. Dasaolu Abiola must have been a victim of the bandwagon struggle-for-something syndrome that hit some of late MKO Abiola’s concubines after his sudden death on July 7, 1998 as she was said to have began to see the No 22, Ladipo Kuku Street property as a ‘potential inheritance’ something she could ‘acquire’ and thus the battle with Tunde Abiola began. Sources close to the battle said Mrs. Desaolu started her battle with the late Tunde Abiola by claiming the first wing which she inhabit during the June 12 Presidential campaign.
 The battle was said to have led Mr. Tunde Abiola and Mrs. Desaolu to Police station on several occasion as the late Tunde out rightly rejected her plan, claiming it was a clandestine move to annihilate him and that a woman who allegedly poisoned one of his brothers to marry an older and richer one was capable of doing anything and dangerous to keep at close range. Moreover, Tunde claimed the property was not hers and she was only desperate to earn the property at all cost as his brother had not willed the property to her but given it to him as a life benefit.

It was at this junction that a top Police officer at Area F, Ikeja allegedly intervened and begged Tunde to consider her and let her have the second wing of the two wings duplex. The reason for this was simply because of the fact that she had kids for the late MKO Abiola and not for the fact that she is legally married to him. As it is now, Dele Desaolu was never married to MKO Abiola officially but had 5 kids for him. It was at this junction she moved back into the property and allegedly brought a relation (her younger sister) to be living in same property.
Mrs. Dele Dasaolu Abiola....The Most Powerful Woman in MKO Abiola family?

However, Mrs. Dele Desaolu appeared never to be contented with just having a wing and sharing space with Engineer Tunde Abiola as she began another battle with the late Engineer. It was gathered that Dele didn’t only claim the ownership of the entire building but equally began a shrewd plan to sell off the property. Unconfirmed information revealed that she nearly sold the property years ago as she already got a buyer and even got part payment but the attempt was foiled as Engineer Tunde Abiola was able to get back possession of the house after he took the case to the court. The battle became messier as Mrs. Dele Dasaolu returned back to London but allegedly kept her younger sister in the 2nd wing of the building that monitored events and gave her information on Tunde Abiola and his family.
The last battle & Juju rumor
Engineer Tunde Abiola....Few weeks before his death

The last battle to dispose Engineer Tunde Abiola was said to have began sometime early this year as the Engineer suddenly began to fall sick. His illness according to sources close to his last wife, Rosemary (who is presently in hiding) was said to be mysterious as the Engineer started emaciating and depreciating in frame. It got to a level that he couldn’t walk with his two legs again as both legs were swollen and he was moving in and out of the hospital, spending cash and was contemplating traveling abroad at the time death called in. On his last day in court, he was said to have appeared on a wheel chair over his case with Dele Dasaolu.

Sources claimed that his illness was not ordinary based on new facts after Mrs. Dasaolu moved into Nigeria  and ordered mobile policemen, touts and other unethical elements to the building and broke it down on Friday May 19, 2017. According to very reliable sources who spoke toAsabeafrika on Ladipo Kuku Street, Mrs. Dasaolu had planted an agent, her sister, who watched events as Engineer Tunde Abiola’s health depreciated from one stage to the other. But the very weekend he was rushed out to hospital by his wife, RosemaryMrs. Dasaolu allegedly ordered her men to move in and break down the property thereby rendering the sick man homeless. 

Ripe information yet to be confirmed has it that Mrs. Dasaolu Abiola had sold the property to an Assistant Inspector General of Police with some fake documents. It was alleged that it is the said AIG on the order of Mrs. Dasaolu Abiola who moved his men to come and break down the building in the absent of Engineer Tunde Abiola who was in the hospital attending to his illness. The way and manner the intruders arrived was said to have shocked many people in the neighborhood as they marched on other occupants of the premises and chased everybody away before bringing the property to a shadow of it old self. For instance, tenants living in some properties in Tunde Abiola’s wing had their possessions destroyed and removed alongside Tunde Abiola and his family’s belongings. “It was just damning, damn ruthless” claimed a source who witnessed the entire saga from a distance. “They came and broke down the entire property, they even threatened to kill anybody who obstructed them, they were mean, I mean deadly and they did it with a force that is beyond ordinary” claimed a second source.

the devastating offensive but some tenants living in the building equally lost their possession to the rampage. For instance, a male pilot tenant who is said to work with a foreign airline was said to have been a victim and had threatened to sue both the police authorities and Mrs. Dasaolu for intruding his privacy and destroying his belongings. Three other tenants with two of them operating shops in the front space of the building were said to have been affected with their belongings equally destroyed.

Although unconfirmed report, has it that Mrs. Dasaolu Abiola paid some tenants off. But another source said ‘it is a lie’. The said Mrs. Dasalu Abiola is said to be in the habit of engaging informants (including her sister living in the second wing) and people in the neighborhood to monitor Tunde Abiola and give her feedback on him. The war as it appears has been discreetly fought for years until the last battle of May 19 that culminated in the death of Tunde Abiola on May 24.
