It was indeed a very black day in the history of the old Ondo St. The conclusion of the ststory is that Ajasin with others later went to form NADECO, a political platform used to fight the misrule of the late General Abacha to standstill. Onigegewura, tell the world about the confrontation between late Cdr Anthony Ibe Onyearugbulem and Ajasin over NADECO in his Owo country home. Ajasin later lived to full old age and passed on early nineties However, Omoboriowo, on his own part never recovered from the trauma, destruction and loss of the election. He never rose socially, politically and even legally till his passing away unceremoniously few years ago.

We are blessed to have you Onigegewura.<br /><br />I have been hearing operation wetie since I was a toddler but I have never heard the details of the so-called operation wetie until today. I sincerely thank you for reminding us all of what people could do when pushed to the wall - that is a point everyone must heed!<br /><br />I thank you for sharing this dark piece of Nigerian history with us.
