They also gathered at the residence of former Head of the Interim National Government, Chief Ernest Shonekan then later left for the MKO Abiola International Stadium in Kuto, Abeokuta, where they resumed their mourning, shouting protest slogans and raining curses on the murderers.
“Oro nla leda, oro nla leda, eyin tepa Titi, t’eje odagba, oro nla leda. Omo yin maku, eeehee omo yin maku, eyin tepa Titi t’eje odagba, omo yin maku”, they sang the dirge.
If interpreted, it means: “you did something grievous, you did something grievous. The murderers of Titi (Sitira) did something grievous.
Their children will die, their children will die, those who killed Titi will lose their child”.
