Raman Akande, one of the suspects arrested in connection with the death of a commercial sex worker in the Ifo area of Ogun State, has opened up on how they carried out the evil act.
Akande narrated how two others and himself allegedly killed the victim for ritual purposes.
The suspect made the confession video made at the police station, and obtained by PUNCH Metro from a source who pleaded anonymity on Wednesday.
From the video, Akande disclosed that he participated in the killing of the commercial sex worker. That was after one person identified as Ifa promised to give him N100,000.
He stated that following the agreement with Ifa, he went and engaged the services of the victim. He said he agreed to pay her N3,000 if she slept at his place overnight. An agreement which the victim obliged.
Akande narrated in Yoruba (now translated) that after she had gone with him to his home, he engaged the services of one of his friends identified as Ijebu in carrying out the killing.
He narrated further, “It was Ijebu who hit her with a wood on the head, and she collapsed. After she collapsed, I dragged her inside. I was the one who held her legs while Ijebu held her hands before Ifa slaughtered her.
“After Ifa had slaughtered her, he used a calabash to collect her blood. I agreed to participate in the process because Ifa promised to pay me N100,000.
“The lady is not my girlfriend but a commercial sex worker that I have always engaged her services in the past. I usually paid her N1,000 before. But I promised to pay her N3,000 when I went to pick her up.”
PUNCH Metro, however stated that efforts to get the reaction of the Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, proved abortive.
“Meanwhile, a senior police officer privy to the incident but not authorized to speak with the media confirmed the arrest. He spoke to our correspondent in a telephone conversation on Wednesday,” PUNCH Metro stated.
“The senior officer also disclosed that the suspect had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department.
“He was arrested in Ifo, and he has been transferred to the state CID for further action,” the police officer said.
In another development, PUNCH Metro reported on Tuesday that a man, Lekan Akinyemi, was arrested by operatives of the Ogun State Police Command for allegedly exhuming and beheading a corpse for ritual purposes in the Itoko area of the State.
“The Ogun State PPRO, Odutola, confirmed this in a telephone conversation with our correspondent,” PUNCH Metro said.
The report disclosed that the suspect was arrested on Monday. The arrest came after a resident had alerted the police to suspicious activities around his father’s grave.
