CSP Adekunle Ajisebutu, speaking on behalf of the state Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alabi, said Odo strangled Jayden.
On Monday, he stated this while parading Odo and other suspects apprehended in connection with a string of crimes committed around the state.
Ajisebutu said, “On February 6, 2022, a 14-year-old female nanny strangled her mistress son, Jayden Osokolo, kept in her custody to death. The suspect, Chiamaka Odo, confessed to being a member of the Ogoloma cult in Enugu, Enugu State.
“During interrogation, she disclosed that members of the cult requested her to bring the blood of the deceased to the spiritual world, hence she carried out the dastardly act.”
Narrating how she was initiated, Odo said one of her primary school friends initiated her into the ‘spiritual’ cult with biscuits.
She added, “After I ate the biscuits at night, I found myself at a place and they welcomed me. When I was coming to Lagos, they said I should bring blood, but I told them that I did not want to shed any blood.
“They asked me what I would be doing in Lagos and I said I would be working as a nanny. So, they said I should make someone sad. On Saturday night, they asked for the baby; they said if I did not bring the baby, they would strangle me.
“They gave me a bowl and told me to call the baby’s name four times, which I did and blood filled the bowl. That was what happened and it happened spiritually in my dream when I was sleeping. In the dream, I do find myself in Ogoloma, which is the name of the group.”
Lover Stabs Boyfriend To Death Over N3000
In the Shangisha region of the state,police also paraded a 26-year-old lady, Oluwatoyin Joshua, for allegedly stabbing her lover, Olayinka Adebayo, to death.
According to Ajisebutu, the lovers were arguing about N3000, and Oluwatoyin stabbed her 27-year-old boyfriend with a knife during the argument.
The suspect, on the other hand, claimed that she was acting in self-defense.
She said, “He (Adebayo) sold drugs. We were playing together when he left. One of his friends, Abraham, who is a fraudster, came and gave me N3,000. He told me to give my boyfriend N2,000, while I take N1,000.
“When he returned, he said all the money was for him, but I dropped his N2,000 on the table and he took the money and threw it at me. He started punching me; he also broke tiles on my head. So, I reached for a knife in the kitchen and stabbed him in the neck. He died during treatment in a hospital.”
Also in another report, the police spokesperson confirmed the arrest of Oluwaseun Aremu, 30, in connection with the death of Tunde Ibrahim, a 33-year-old male.
He said the two men were arguing at their home on Donatus Close, Elegushi, Ikate, Lagos, when Aremu struck Ibrahim with a stick in the head.
“As a result, the victim sustained serious injuries and was rushed to a hospital where he was confirmed dead. The suspect has since confessed to the crime and is in police custody, while the police await advice from the DPP,” Ajisebutu added.
