A 300-level student of Computer Science in Olabisi Onabanjo  University, Ago Iwoye, Adebisi Oriade and his girlfriend, Julia Imaga, a diploma student, have been murdered.

The two lovers were allegedly killed by members of Aye confraternity, Muritala Babatunde and Taiwo Razak.

The suspects were paraded before journalists at Ogun State Police Headquarters, Eleweran. Commissioner of police said one of the brothers of the late Adebisi, Oriade Adeola, had on 3rd June, 2018, reported to the Police that his brother had left home since MaM 28, 2018 with his girlfriend in HD car, a Honda crosstour with the number plate, FST 350 FA, but had yet to return.

He explained that on the receipt of the complaint, the men of the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team, in collaboration with the operatives of the State Command, embarked on technical intelligence, leading to the arrest of the two suspects, from whom, an iPhone X and two pairs of sneakers belonging to Adebisi were recovered.

Mr. Iliyasu further said the suspects, on interrogation, confessed  that they killed Adebisi and his girlfriend.

"They said they lured the victims to a junction at Oru Ijebu, where they were forcefully taken to a nearby bus and they smashed their heads with planks and gun.”The Police Commissioner said.

He said the decomposing bodies of the deceased had been recovered and deposited  in the mortuary at the State General Hospital, Ijebu Ode.

While speaking with journalists,  Muritala Babatunde confirmed his membership of Aiye cult,saying that he and two other accomplices killed the victims.

Babatunde alleged that he and the late Adebisi were friends and they had a deal relating to an internet fraud in which over N2m was involved.

He further claimed thar despite many calls and entreaties, the deceased refused to give him his own share.

According to him, "He refused to pick my calls and I stopped calling him.  On May 28,  2018, I got two other men to join me and we kidnapped Adebisi and his girlfriend. He belonged to Alora cult. He and members of his group were threatening me, so we later killed him and his girlfriend by using planks.”

When asked why they killed Adebisi's girlfriend, he replied, “it was just to cover our track.”

The late Adebisi's father, Adedeji Oriade, denied the allegations made by Muritala, that his son was a cultist and internet fraudster.

He said,  “My son was never a cultist or an Internet fraudster. The suspect,  Babatunde Muritala, kept going back and forth. He was quoted to have said that my late son used to help him with money but suddenly he (my son) stopped and became arrogant and that was why he killed him.”

Also, the late Julia's mother,  Mrs Olamma Ofor, who wept uncontrollably during the parade of the suspects, was too distraught to talk to journalists.

Other suspected ritual killers, armed robbers and rapists arrested in various locations in the State were equally paraded.
