“Why we killed OOU ‘yahoo boy’, girlfriend” – Alleged cultists
Two suspects accused of killing students of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ogun State have confessed to the crime.
Muritala Babatunde, 29, was arrested alongside one of his accomplices, 18-year-old Taiwo Rasak, for killing Oriade Adebisi aka Oh Dollar, 22, and his 18-year-old girlfriend, Julian Eke Imaga.
Muritala, while being paraded yesterday, after being caught with Oriade’s iPhone X and two pairs of canvas shoes, said the deceased, who was a “Yahoo boy” and a member of his confraternity, was giving money to a rival cult group.
He also said they did a deal and got a huge sum of money but the deceased refused to give him his cut despite all his moves.
He added that Oriade was recently abducted by another person involved in the deal and the person forced him to pay him his own cut.
Muritala said he had to plan with his gang to plan Oriade’s kidnap so as to get his share of the money.
He accused the deceased of not recognizing him as the current Number one of the Black Axe Confraternity, Ijebu-North axis.
He said at about 11pm on May 28, having noticed Oriade’s movement along Oru-Ijebu junction, he quickly called his gang members: Rasak Taiwo aka IKU (Death) and Sodiq, and Oriade and his girlfriend were kidnapped in his car.
The students were taken to the bush along Ijebu-ode Awa/Ibadan expressway where both of them were killed.
He then took his iPhone and two pairs of shoes from him and thereafter abandoned the car at the expressway, having dumped their lifeless bodies in a bush at the back of uncompleted building where they were murdered.
Rasak, who said he was initiated into AIYE confraternity in year 2015 when he was just 15, confessed that Muritala called his girlfriend Seun Yetunde, who had been monitoring Oriade’s movement, to bring a bag that contained two guns and a cutlass.
He said Muritala gave him one of the guns, handled one and handed over the cutlass to Sodiq while waiting patiently for Oriade to come. Few minutes oriade and his girlfriend arrived in a car.
He added that they took them to the bush along the expressway, where they were killed with planks and gun.
