Suspect Confesses Killing Commercial Sex Worker For Ritual
A suspect, Raman Akande, arrested in connection with the death of a commercial sex worker in the Ifo area of Ogun State, has narrated how his gang allegedly robbed and killed the victim for ritual purposes.
In a confessional video made at the police station, and leaked by a source who pleaded anonymity on Wednesday, disclosed that he and two other persons participated in the killing of the commercial sex worker after one person identified as Ifa promised him a reward of N100,000.
According to Akande, following the agreement with Ifa, he went and engaged the services of the victim with an agreement to pay her N3,000 if she slept at his place overnight, which the victim obliged.
The suspect, who spoke in Yoruba (now translated), said after the victim went home with him, he engaged the services of one of his friends identified as Ijebu to carry out the killing.
Akande further narrated thus; “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 always engaged her services in the past. I usually pay her N1,000 before, but I promised to pay her N3,000 when I went to pick her up.”
Meanwhile, the Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, is yet to officially react to the development as of the time of filing this report.
However, insider sources privy to the incident confirmed the arrest, hinting also that the suspect had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department.
The sources further said; “He was arrested in Ifo, and he has been transferred to the state CID for further action”.
In another development, reports on Tuesday said 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.
Confirming the incident, the Command Spokesperson said the suspect was arrested on Monday after a resident alerted the Police to suspicious activities around his father’s grave.
