The Oyo State Police Command has paraded Sunday Shodipe, the prime suspect arrested in connection with the multiple killings in the Akinyele Local Government Area of Oyo State.
The
Commissioner of Police, Nwachukwu Enwonwu, who paraded him alongside other
suspects on Wednesday, said the suspect went back to Akinyele and carried out
another killing after he escaped from police custody.
The CP
said the suspect escaped from police custody on August 11 and carried out the
killing of Mrs Funmilayo Oladeji at her home two days after his escape.
He said
the suspect who was standing trial before his escape would be handed over to
the correctional centre soon.
The CP
said, “Upon interrogation, he explained that he managed to escape from custody
when an Inspector attached to the Divisional Police Headquarters, Mokola gave
him the permission to take his bath within the premises of the station.
“He also
confessed that on August 13 at about 2:30pm, he attacked one Mrs Funmilayo
Oladeji in her house at Onikeke community in Akinyele.
“He stated
that he inflicted machete injury on the woman’s head and left her in the pool
of her blood.”
When
Shodipe was asked where he went to after his escape, he said he went to
Akinyele again and confessed that he killed another victim there.
Narrating
how he killed the woman, Shodipe said, he used a machete to inflict injuries on
her head.
He said, ”
I inflicted machete cut on her head.”
The CP said the suspect was kept in police custody because the prisons pleaded to keep him due to space constraint and COVID-19 pandemic.
