A 300-Level Computer Science undergraduate of the Olabisi Onabanjo\u00a0 University, Ago Iwoye, Adebisi Oriade and his girlfriend, Julia Imaga, also a diploma student at the same institution, have been allegedly killed by two members of Aiye confraternity, Muritala Babatunde and Taiwo Razak.<\/p>\n
The Ogun State Commissioner of Police,\u00a0 Ahmed Iliyasu,\u00a0 disclosed this at the state police headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta, on Friday while parading no fewer than 25 suspects arrested for various offences ranging from armed robbery,\u00a0 cultism, to stealing and rape.<\/p>\n
Parading the two major suspects among other suspected criminals, Iliyasu said one of the brothers of Adebisi, Oriade Adeola, had on June 3, 2018, reported to the police that he (Adebisi) had left home since May 28,\u00a0 2018 with his girlfriend in his car, a Honda Crosstour with the number plate, FST 350 FA,\u00a0 but had yet to return.<\/p>\n
He said on the receipt of the complaint,\u00a0 the men of the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team, in collaboration with the operatives of the state command embarked on technical intelligence.<\/p>\n
He said this led to the arrest of the two suspects, from whom an iPhone X and two pairs of sneakers belonging to Adebisi were allegedly recovered. Iliyasu further said the suspects, on interrogation, confessed\u00a0 that they killed Adebisi and his girlfriend.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cThey said they lured the victims to a junction at Oru Ijebu, where they were forcefully taken to a nearby bus and they smashed their heads with planks and gun.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said the decomposing bodies of the deceased had been recovered and deposited\u00a0 in the mortuary at the State General Hospital, Ijebu Ode.<\/p>\n
While speaking with journalists,\u00a0 Muritala Babatunde confirmed that he belonged to Aiye cult\u00a0 and that he and two other accomplices killed the victims.<\/p>\n
He alleged that he and the late Adebisi were friends and they had a deal relating to an Internet fraud in which over N2m was involved.<\/p>\n
He further claimed that Adebisi, despite many calls and entreaties, refused to give him his own share.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cHe refused to pick my calls and I stopped calling him.\u00a0 On May 28,\u00a0 2018, I got two other men to join me and we abducted Adebisi and his girlfriend.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe belonged to Alora cult. He and members of his group were threatening me, so we later killed him and his girlfriend\u00a0 by using planks.\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked why they killed Adebisi\u2019s girlfriend, he replied, \u201cit was just to cover our track.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adebisi\u2019s father, Adedeji Oriade, however,\u00a0 denied the allegations made by Muritala, that his son was a cult member and an Internet fraudster.<\/p>\n
He said,\u00a0 \u201cMy son was never a cultist or an Internet fraudster. The suspect,\u00a0 Babatunde Muritala, kept going back and forth. He was quoted to have said that my late son used to help him with money but suddenly he (my son) stopped and became arrogant and that was why he killed him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Julia\u2019s mother,\u00a0 Mrs Olamma Ofor, who wept during the parade of the suspects, was too distraught to talk to journalists.<\/p>\n
Other suspected ritual killers, armed robbers and rapists arrested in various locations in the state were equally paraded.<\/p>\n
Iliyasu also disclosed that five police inspectors, seven sergeants and seven corporals serving in the state have been dismissed between July 2016 and June this year for various offences.<\/p>\n
He added that two inspectors, five sergeants and two corporals were demoted in ranks while 11 others were seriously reprimanded within the same period.<\/p>\n
He revealed that four were arraigned after dismissal.<\/p>\n
Iliyasu said the disciplinary measures were taken against the affected officers to impress it further in the consciousness of people that \u201cno erring policeman will ever go unpunished.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
