The suspects, Adama Joseph and Oreoluwa Davies, who were detained by the Nigeria Police for the murder of a club owner in Kwara State, Adeniyi Ojo, have described how they murdered the socialite.
The ladies presented by police in Abuja on Wednesday evening admitted to the murder, explaining their actions to the late socialite’s covetousness, stinginess, and carelessness.
According to reports, the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, while parading the suspects, said, “On October 6, 2023, police operatives apprehended the two suspects, Adama and Oreoluwa, who are both students of Kwara State Polytechnic, for their involvement in the robbery and murder of Mr. Adeniyi Ojo, the son of Chief Emmanuel Ojo, a prominent figure in Ilorin, Kwara State.
“Through meticulous investigative work, our officers were able to track and apprehend these suspects in Mowe Ibafo, Ogun State.
“In a tragic incident, the duo tied the deceased under the guise of having a sex romp and demanded money from him. But when he was not forthcoming, they resorted to drugging and suffocating him, leading to his untimely demise,” the Force PRO stated.
During the interrogation, one of the suspects, Adama stated that the victim had been requesting a sexual relationship with her for some time, but she had refused because she had previously worked for him, and after she quit, he failed to meet her financial demands whenever she requested.
Oreoluwa on her part, agreed with Adama’s account of the event.
Adama said, “We had finished our ND programme at Kwara Polytechnic before the incident happened. We didn’t plan to kill him. On that particular day, we intended to steal from him, so we told him that we wanted to do BDSM, and he agreed to have a threesome with me and my friend (Oreoluwa).
“After Oreoluwa tied his hands and legs, I tried to gag his mouth, but he refused, and I stopped. So, when we couldn’t find any money in his pocket, my friend took his phone and showed it to his face to open it with a facial lock, but he started shouting, loosened one of the ropes on his hands, and started hitting my friend. We put Refnol (Rohypnol) in his mouth.
“So, in a bid to stop him from making noise, my friend put a pillow over his face, and when he went silent, we told him that we were leaving because we thought he was pretending, but he didn’t respond, so we left. I touched him with a dead knife used for cutting the cake, but he didn’t bleed, as I never meant to stab him or hurt him; we only wanted to take his money. We didn’t know he died until the police arrested us in Ogun State. We only took his phone, the knife, and the ropes with us.”
