A 23-year-old man, Owolabi Adeeko has narrated how he lured
his girlfriend to a slaughter house for the purpose of money ritual.
According to Owolabi, he decided to go into money ritual
because things are not going well with his parents economically most especially
his mother who used to be the breadwinner of the family for that reason, he
sought for assistance from the pastor who was asked him to bring a human being
for that purpose and the available person at that time was his girlfriend.
The final year Theatre Arts student of Lagos State
University (LASU), Miss Favour Daley-Oladele had left school on 7 December to
visit her parents in Osun State. On her return on 8 December, she stopped to
visit her boyfriend, Owolabi Adeeko. It was not clear where they met, as one
account said Adeeko drove the girl from Lagos to Ikire on the fateful day.
Favour was reportedly murdered, some of her body parts
dismembered, cooked and eaten by the boyfriend’s mother, as part of a bizarre
money-making ritual.
Following the arrest of the mother, Mrs Adeeko and her son
Owolabi, the Ogun State police spokesman in a statement said Favour was
declared missing at the Mowe police station on December 8 and that detectives
went into full scale technical and forensic investigation of the case.
Through the police investigation, Favour was traced to a
white garment church in faraway Ikoyi-Ile in Osun State. The church was
pastored by one Segun Philip.
“On getting to the church, the self-acclaimed pastor was
promptly arrested but he was quick to inform the detectives that the girl was
brought to him by her boyfriend Adeeko Owolabi who was still within the
vicinity of the church,” DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi said in the statement, adding
that “the said boyfriend was traced and apprehended immediately.”
The ritualist boyfriend confessed to the police “that that
while the girl was sleeping, the pastor gave him a pestle with which he used to
smashed Favour’s head and the pastor quickly used a knife to cut off her neck,
ripped open her chest and removed her heart which he used in preparing a
concoction for him and his mother to eat.”
Police authorities however described the gruesome murder of
the deceased as “superlative degree of wickedness” and vowed to ensure that all
the suspects face the full wrath of the law.
