Date: 2024-11-07

Daily Post reports that a 38-year-old suspect, Peter Samuel, confessed on Wednesday to the killing of an Okada rider, Rafiu Akao, in Oke-Oyi town, Ilorin East Local Government Area, Kwara State.

The tragic incident took place in the Asunlere area of the town on November 4, 2024. During an interview after being paraded with four other suspects by Kwara State Police Commissioner Victor Olaiya, Samuel admitted, “I used a cutlass to cut the head of the Okada rider,” as part of an attempt to steal the newly purchased motorcycle owned by Akao.

According to Samuel, he was influenced by one “Oga” who convinced him that the scheme would bring in substantial money. The additional suspects paraded include Jeremiah Tiozinda (26), Sunday Agbenke (40), Yusuf Abdulkareem (22), and Jaiyeola Fatai (40).

Exhibits recovered included one Itel android phone and a motorcycle.

Speaking on the tragic incident, the police commissioner, disclosed that “On November 4, 2024, at about 2109 hrs, a report was received from the residents of Asunlere community, Oke-Oyi, Ilorin, Kwara State.

“Three men, namely Abdulrasheed Ola Sheu, Ismail Muhammed, and others, arrived at Oke-oyi Police Division to report the discovery of a headless body lying near a stream within the area.

“Upon receiving the report, detectives were swiftly dispatched to the scene. Photographic evidence was captured, revealing a significant mark of violence around the neck, indicating that the head was severed.

“The body was subsequently evacuated and deposited at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital morgue, pending an autopsy.

“At the crime scene, detectives recovered an Itel Android phone, which was suspected to belong to one of the assailants, as well as a motorcycle believed to be the deceased's property. Further search revealed that the deceased's phone was also found on him.

“Detectives intensified efforts to identify and apprehend the perpetrators. These efforts yielded results in the early hours of November 6, 2024. Based on reliable intelligence, two suspects were apprehended at separate locations. The suspects were identified as Peter Samuel (M), Jeremiah Tiozinda (M) and Sunday Agbenke (M).”

“Both individuals confessed to committing the crime. Additionally, the recovered android phone was confirmed to belong to suspect Peter Samuel, who was planning to flee from the state. During interrogation, the suspects revealed that they disposed of the victim's severed head in a nearby river.

“The case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for thorough investigation, Further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses. The suspects will subsequently be arraigned in court,” he added.
