A Police source told Vanguard that the suspect confessed during interrogation that the murder was his first after he joined the Yahoo plus Club.
He alleged that two other persons, who he did not mention their identities, joined in killing the victim. Findings showed that the other accomplices are the native doctor and a friend, who introduced him into the Yahoo plus Club.
He, however, denied that he was the one that actually killed the victim, adding that after the two boys killed her, they ordered him to bring a digger and shovel to dig the grave where she was buried inside his room. The suspect confessed that he was the one that dug the grave and put her corpse into it and covered it up.
He said the crime was committed when neighbours were busy watching a World Cup game, adding that he also turned on his musical system to suppress the sound of the digging. A Police source said that if the corpse had been allowed to decompose for seven days, the suspect would have become rich suddenly.
Police boss speaks
Briefing newsmen, Ondo State Police Commissioner, Gbenga Adeyanju described the story that the suspect was not the killer as a rooster and bull story. He said: “The Command launched an investigation immediately to unravel the mystery surrounding her sudden disappearance.
However, on July 6, 2018 at about 2125hrs, the Command received an information that one Seidu Sakiru Adeyemi, 27 years, of No 17 Adegbolarin Layout Aratunsin, Akure, who was a boyfriend to the missing Khadijat, had allegedly killed her and was about to dispose of her corpse.
“The Police immediately swooped on him, and on close observation of his residence, it was discovered that the suspect had actually buried the missing girl for six days and was planning to exhume and finally dispose of the remains, because according to him, he was not comfortable with the stench coming from the decomposed body as it was not properly buried.
“The suspect will soon appear in court while effort is on to arrest the alleged accomplices.’’
In an interview, the father of the deceased who was her second daughter, said she was hypnotised before her gruesome murder for rituals by her ex-boyfriend as he called the suspect.
