The Kwara State Police Command has paraded a 36-year-old Medical doctor Dr. Adio Abbas Adeyemi, in connection with the killing of four persons in the State.
Speaking while parading the suspect in Ilorin on Monday evening, the state Police Commissioner, Paul Odama, said that the command was closing in on other members of the syndicate involved in the crime.
The Police boss, who said that the suspected murderer allegedly sedated some of his victims; mostly women before he killed them, added that he killed and buried, while he killed to harvest the organs of some other victims.
He went further to give the names of the deceased as; Olanipekun Ifeoluwa Ibukun;Â Nafisat Halidu; Abubakar Mallam Abubakar and an unidentified lady.
“The circumstances surrounding the missing Ifeoluwa at Tanke and her being found dead at Alapa necessitated heightened suspicion that the doctor knew something about the missing lady.”
While the command was searching for the doctor, news filtered in that the Edo State Police Command had arrested Dr. Abbas Adio Adeyemi in connection with another case of killing.
He explained that the command, to get to the root of the serial murder case in Kwara state, succeeded in getting him released to the command to help in the investigation.
“He confessed to having killed Ifeoluwa by hitting her with an object on the head and dumped the body at a bush in Alapa, he also confessed to having earlier sedated and causing the kidnap and killing of one Abubakar Malam Abubakar ‘M’ and killing of one Nafisat Halidu ‘f’ a casual worker at General Hospital both in Kaiama and concealed her body in a trash-can, filled the trash-can with cement and kept inside locked storage in the General Hospital Kaiama with the key in his procession.
“He also confessed to the killing of one unknown lady, who was buried inside the same general hospital store.” Both bodies were exhumed, recovered, and deposited at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin.
The suspect also confessed further to having been lured into organ harvesting by a yet-to-be-identified syndicate.
The commissioner added that a discreet investigation is still in progress to unravel other killings perpetrated by the suspect and his syndicate.
Some items recovered from the suspect include a Toyota Camry LE, Reg. No. WSN 494 AA, one black and one pink female handbag, one Infinix phone, one Tecno phone, a female wig, a black veil, one female pant, and an industrial waste bin.
He, however, said Dr. Adio Abbas Adeyemi would soon be charged in court.
In another development, on February 17, 2023, two men, Musa Saka, and Ridwan Shehu, from Onile-Aro village and Isalu farm settlements, escaped and reported to the Oke-Ero Police Division that some armed men had invaded their farm settlements.
Policemen from the division and vigilantes in the area were mobilized and stormed the identified farm settlements; they were greeted on arrival at the scene with hails of bullets shot by the invaders.
The engagement by the police and vigilantes led to the neutralization of two of the unknown armed men, and one of the vigilantes sustained some gunshot injuries and is presently recuperating in the hospital.
Meanwhile, two AK-47 rifles with four live rounds of ammunition were recovered, and the bodies of the two unknown gunmen have been deposited in the mortuary while efforts are already in high gear to arrest the remaining fleeing suspects.
