A 39-year-old fruit dealer Babalola Dolapo has revealed how he killed Evangelist Opeyemi Oyelakin, a boyhood friend, stole his motorbike, and disposed of his body in a hole on Oke-Igbo Road in Oke-Igbo/Ile-Oluji Local Government Area of Ondo State.
Speaking to reporters following his apprehension by state police investigators, Dolapo said that he killed his companion and then sold the stolen motorcycle for N130,000.
He acknowledged working with Sikiru Mutiu, who is now at large, to allegedly carry out the murder.
He said: “It is the work of the devil, I can’t explain because this person that we are talking about was my close friend. Truly, his bike is not the first bike I would steal but I have never killed before. Even those that are not related to me, I snatched the bike from them and did not harm them but this one is just a coincidence.
“We sold this motorbike for N130,000 and we shared the money equally because we were two in the business. When we wanted to collect the bike from him, he struggled with us and I hit him with stone. I know his mum and younger brother.
“I can’t explain why I killed him. I am a trader, I sell oranges but I don’t have a shop. I do go to villages to buy oranges. I am from Oyo State, but resides in Ondo town. I’m yet to marry and this would be the first time I would come to this area. I have been in the business since 2021.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]
