A man who was hired to murder a young girl has ended up with a totally different experience in the process.
Tayo Adeyemi
A 24-year-old suspect, Tayo Adeyemi, has been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command.
The young man was arrested after he confessed to have been hired to
kill a female hotel lodger in the Alakija, Satellite Town area of the
state.
According to The Punch, Adeyemi, who hails from Kwara State,
revealed that he was arrested by the police after he sneaked into the
hotel, White House, and demanded that his target, simply known as
Rosemary, had s*x with him so he would spare her life.
Punch Metro reports that Adeyemi, who dropped out of senior
secondary school, was arrested by the Satellite Town Police Division
last Thursday.
It was learnt that penultimate Wednesday, Adeyemi was brought by two gang members on a motorcycle to the hotel to kill Rosemary.
However, once Adeyemi laid his eyes on his supposed target, he
reportedly fell in love with her and eventually attempted to r*pe her
after she rebuffed his pleas to have s*x with him.
Rosemary, however, raised the alarm.
The hotel management subsequently called the police, and Adeyemi was arrested.
The Punch reports that one locally-made pistol and a live cartridge
were recovered from Adeyemi, who had been transferred to the Special
Anti-Robbery Squad, Ikeja.
The police said the suspect belonged to a three-man gang, adding
that a manhunt had been launched for the fleeing two gang members.
Speaking with Punch Metro, Adeyemi said he gave the woman N1,500 to
have s*x with her, adding that he fell in love with his target.
Adeyemi, who spoke in pidgin English, said, “I was working as a
casual worker at a bottling company in the Apapa area before I met the
gang members in the Ajegunle area. A friend, Wisdom, had invited me to
stay in his house.
“His friends, who are Eiye Confraternity members, saw me and
said they had a job for me. They said the job was to kill a woman. I
said I could not do such a job, but they threatened to kill me and since
they had guns, I was afraid.
“Finally, I was left with no option but to do their wish. One
of them, Ahmed, gave me the gun and they brought me on a motorcycle to
the hotel. But when I got to the hotel room and saw the woman, I fell in
love with her and I had mercy on her.
“I told her that I was sent to kill her, but since I loved her,
I would just have sex with her. When she declined, I offered her
N1,500, and said I would take her necklaces and wristwatch away and lie
to my gang members that she had been killed. But she raised the alarm.
“Everyone in the hotel called the police, the Oodua Peoples’
Congress and other vigilance groups. The hotel management called the
police at the Satellite Town division.
“When my parents heard about my arrest, they were disappointed.
I told them that I was being threatened by the cult members. I did not
mean to kill the lady. Otherwise, I would have shot her and run away.”
The state Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, said the command would not give criminals a breathing space in the state.
