Osun serial killer arrested

A suspected serial killer in the Ikire town of Osun state has confessed to killing 10 persons so far in his robbery operations. The police arrested the suspect, Adamo Aliyu, and three others for alleged robbery.

While being interrogated by journalists,  Aliyu said he had lost count of his murdered victims, but conservatively said he had killed 10 persons.

He admitted to taking part in the murder of a petrol station manager, Fatai Adigu.

Aliyu said his friend, Yusuf Idris’ father contracted him to carry out the murder. He said a woman, who originally contracted the job to them, paid N250, 000.

“I have lost count of the number of people I have killed.

“We have also snatched several motorcycles around Ikire. We usually sell to other communities. I must have killed more than 10 people.

“I work with Yusuf Idris. His father contracted us to kill the man. I was told a woman gave him the job. We went to the petrol station early in the morning and met the man there. My friend, Idris, hit him with a weapon on the head and he died.

“We stole N100, 000 there and fled. After selling motorcycles that we snatched, I made over N1.5m but I squandered it on food, dresses and Indian hemp.”

Speaking on Aliyu’s arrest, Yemisi Opalola, the spokesperson for the police command, said that they had received a distress call about a robbery at Koteyemu/Aku area of Ikire.

The spokesperson added that the police, together with some civilian volunteers, arrested the suspect and, subsequently, his three cohorts from their various hideouts.

The case is said to have been transferred to the Anti-Cultism Unit of the police for discreet investigation.
