A man, Raman Akande, held in connection with the murd3r of a commercial s3x worker in the Ifo area of Ogun State for ritual purposes, has confessed that he took part in the crime because he was promised N100,000.
Akande was recorded making the confession at the police station after his arrest.
According to the video, which was seen by the Punch, Raman said a certain person identified as Ifa promised him a reward of N100,000.
With the financial reward in mind, Raman said he engaged the services of the victim with an agreement to pay her N3,000 if she slept at his place overnight, which the victim obliged.
Akande narrated in Yoruba (now translated) that after she had gone with him to his home, he engaged the services of one of his friends identified as Ijebu in carrying out the killing.
He narrated further, “It was Ijebu who hit her with a wood on the head, and she collapsed. After she collapsed, I dragged her inside. I was the one who held her legs while Ijebu held her hands before Ifa slaughtered her.
“After Ifa had slaughtered her, he used a calabash to collect her blood. I agreed to participate in the process because Ifa promised to pay me N100,000.
“The lady is not my girlfriend but a commercial sex worker that I have always engaged her services in the past. I usually paid her N1,000 before, but I promised to pay her N3,000 when I went to pick her up.”
