Six months after: A letter to you, my son's killer/s - by Aisha Falode

A grieving mother writes an open letter to her son's killer/s 6 months after his passing. The 19yr old son of ace sports broadcaster Aisha Falode was thrown from the rooftop of a 17-storey building on February 15th 2014 in Dubai. No one has been charged for his murder. Read Ms Falode's letter below
In years gone by, I read detective books and watched Crime series depicting how murderers sleep at night. How they wake up in sweat with nightmarish images of the soul they had taken, and are so filled with dread and guilt of their crime that they spend their night dripping hot, sticky sweat of horror at what they had done. 

How they stare at the night, wishing somehow it would never come, I mean, murderers live in such fear wishing they could turn the hands of the clock or go back in time and re-enact the whole scene of their evil deed, so as to reverse the killing of their innocent victim. Continue...



Such was my naivety because death was so far away from me.  Then death came so close to me I can still feel its hot breath down my spine. Yet I see how helpless it has become for it cannot strike the same victim twice. Death is so uncanny, it takes a soul but it knows that the soul goes back to the Maker in peace, yet he is lucky because the person who wore its cloak, the person who struck the blow, the person who took breath which does not belong to him, becomes its victim.

I say this today, my son's killer/syou have become the victim. Death has deceived you and is now sneering at you. You are in your own hell, a living hell, hades of which will be immersed in you for the rest of your life. 

Toba Falode aka Tyler Fray would have been alive today, breathing, laughing, writing songs about life and oppression, songs about people like you, evil people who think they can oppress, suppress and kill just because they can, but he is not for he rests in the bosom of the Almighty his creator. You Killer had no right taking his life because you did not give it. 

Killer have you ever gone back in history or do murderers have no time to read up what happens to those of their like who came before them? If you do you will know that the Avenger of Death is forever lurking behind you and one day, very soon and sooner than you can imagine, you will pay for your crime and your sins. The Bible which we uphold says vengeance is God's and indeed the Quran as well says there is no hiding place for the wicked.

Killer, the sister's heart you wrenched by taking her brother and confidant, the family you brought despair and misery on, the friends you left crippled with excruciating pain and I though drenched in sorrow by your inhumane callousness, know in my heart that the Avenger is upon you.  

You have challenged the Almighty God by taking a life He created by breaking His commandment that thou shall not kill.  Then like a wicked unrepentant soul, you walk the streets as if nothing happened? Believing in your ignorance that the one who created ears cannot hear and the one who created eyes cannot see.  Surely your conscience is judging you, you sweat profusely in the cold of the night, and shiver in the heat of the day, you jump at the slightest sound and you keep looking over your shoulder, petrified even of your own shadow and dreading the inevitable and knowing in your heart that death has cunned you and the Avenger is so close you can feel the hair on your nape standing. 

Perhaps one day, your nightmare will end and you will free yourself but not before the Avenger gets you, forcing you to speak, telling the world of how you killed my son on that sad night hunting you in Dubai.  When you pushed my boy, a good son, and the hope of my future from a 17 Storey building. What a callous, heartless andcold-bloodedkiller!


How did you kill him, why did you kill him? Oh, lest I forget you, the witness, an accessory to murder. Only God knows what pushes you to soil your hands with innocent blood by remaining silent and protectinga killerfrom a most foul and heinous crime while the image of Tyler’s dead body haunts you at night, you said you wish you could have done more at the time of his death. Yes you can. Speak up and free yourself from the insanity creeping up on you and the long stretch of dark miserable years ahead, how did Tyler Fray die? 

How did my son's innocent blood splatter on your body? Did your bloody knuckle punch the life out of him, or did you smash him with a stone before throwing him over the balcony, or did you just push him to his death? Why did you say you would take the punishment for his death, why do people you call friends keep meeting such a fate around you, is it coincidence? 
Do you know, that there were actually three people on that balcony on that night? The all seeing God, the omnipotent, the ever present…He was there and He witnessed that murder and He is calling you to account forTyler’s Death. Killer!!!!  Look! Feel!

Hear the sound of the footstep of the long arms of the law looming over you like the sun covers the earth …..........
The Avenger is upon you like the waves of the Ocean smashing against the rock there is no escape for God is a just God.

I know Toba is in heaven and that gives me peace.
What kind of peace can a killer give his mother?

Very sad. I cant do without crying anytime i read or hear news about this story. I am a mother of one. Even if a good mother has 2o children, you don't pray for any of them to die. This is so sad. God will give Aisha the courage and strength to bear this burden. To Toba's killer there is God.

Aisha I do not know what it's like to lose a son but I know what death feels like close to home. My dear A'i God is not asleep; the killer, the accomplice(s) they will be arrested by God. I join you in prayer. Toba's soul is resting in peace but his blood will seek justice! I was watching you on TV doing your job, wondered what turmoil was in your heart. Be strong A'i.
I don't know how people can be so violent, evil, insensitive! Ah! Their parents will grieve more because dead body to bury sef dem no go see! One after the other all guilty shall pay.

Tamilore said...

Believe me Aisha as a mother I feel your pain...and as a mother with a teenager studying outside Nigeria I continue to pray...I pray for all our children who re all out there trying to get education...I pray for our country...I pray for you my sister for God to console you, give you his grace...give u peace and I pray for the sole of your young man...be rest assured that he is at peace at the bosom of the Lord and u know what? he is untouchable where he is!...As for the killer...he is doomed for life that is for sure and believe me any accomplice with him in the devilish act is doomed along with him...I pray for God's grace and healing upon your soul.

this is just too sad for words! why isn't the Dubai doing anything about this? isn't it its duty to safeguard the citizens of other countries resident in their country? why hasn't the Nigerian government acted or are our exports going to continue to live in fear of their lives abroad cos our government doesn't care!

This nearly made me cry. 0n a lighter note, think how weird it'll be seeing a girl crying in public staring at her phone. People must think her boyfriend sent a break-up text, they always think it has 2 b a boy. Sad world madam but ur son would want you 2 laugh sometimes. Take heart. Justice is a sure thing whether now or in the afterlife. RIP Toba ----C21

Hmmm I know how it feels to loss a loved 1.#crying# only God can console u madam. As for d killer! NO PEACE 4 HIM,the evil he did will leave with him until he confess.

Boladale said...

Mrs. Falode may Almighty God console you. No amount of words can console you. I lost my cousin in 2011, he was in UNILAG up till now anytime I sees my uncle I feel so sad. Talkless of one's biological child. I pray God will expose all the people behind his death. My heart grieves as I read your letter. To Tobi rest on beloved, may your killer know no peace.
