Three people killed Ondo ex-deputy governor’s daughter – Police

The Ondo State Police Command has said
two men joined Alao Adeyemi to allegedly kill Khadijat, the daughter of a
former deputy governor of the state, Alhaji Lasisi Oluboyo.

Adeyemi, Khadijat’s boyfriend, was
arrested by the police on Sunday following the discovery of the remains
of the deputy governor’s daughter in a shallow grave in his room.

However, the police on Wednesday said
two other persons that had yet to be identified were also involved in
the death of the 400-level student of the Adekunle Ajasin University,
Akungba, Akoko.

Parading Adeyemi at the headquarters of
the state police command in Akure, the state capital, the state Police
Public Relations Officer, Mr Femi Joseph, said the two accomplices fled
after the dastardly act.

Joseph said, “The command received an
information that Adeyemi, 27, who was Khadijat’s boyfriend, 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 girl, who had been missing for six days.

“He was  actually planning to exhume the
remains and finally dispose them of because, according to him, he was
not comfortable with the stench coming from the decomposed body as it
was not properly buried.”

The PPRO said the suspect would soon be charged to court, while effort was ongoing to arrest the accomplices.

Adeyemi, who confessed to being a yahoo-yahoo boy (Internet fraudster), said he was not directly involved in the killing of Khadijat.

He explained that it was the two
accomplices that killed and buried her, adding that the two fleeing
suspects were brought to his house by the deceased.

He said, “I only provided the digger
that was used to dig the grave inside my room where the deceased was
buried. But Khadijat was not killed for ritual purpose.”

Meanwhile, the Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has commiserated with the family of Oluboyo over the murder of Khadijat.

In a statement by his Chief Press
Secretary, Mr Segun Ajiboye, the governor urged the police to carry out a
thorough investigation and ensure that justice was served in the
matter.

Akeredolu also advised youths,
especially students, to face their studies and shun acts that were
capable of jeopardising their future.
