Twenty-three year-old Adeeko Owolabi has narrated how he lured a
final year female student of the Lagos State University (LASU),
Miss Favour Daley-Oladele, to a church in Osun State.
Owolabi lured the victim, 22, to a Cherubim & Seraphim
Church at Ikoyi-Ile in Osun State where he allegedly killed the
girl while she was asleep by using a pestle to smash her head, and
later her organs were removed for a ‘get-rich quick’ money-making
concoction.
Owolabi and Favour until her gruesome killing were lovers and
she was said to be looking forward to seeing the two of them
becoming husband and wife in future, but unknown to her, Owolabi
had a sinister agenda.
He told detectives in Ogun State that he decided to use Favour
for money rituals ostensibly to lift his family out of poverty,
explaining that things had not been rosy for his family.
He was allegedly assisted in the crime by a self- acclaimed
pastor of the white garment church, Segun Philip, who removed the
girl’s heart and fed Owolabi and his mother with the concoction
prepared with Favour’s heart.
Police spokesman Abimbola Oyeyemi, who made this known in a
statement yesterday, said that detectives from Mowe Division of the
Ogun State Police Command arrested Owolabi, his mother and Pastor
Philip.
Oyeyemi said: “A self- acclaimed pastor of a white garment
church, Segun Philip, 42, was arrested with a 23-year-old man,
Adeeko Owolabi, over the killing of a final year Sociology student
of the Lagos State University (LASU), Favour Daley-Oladele.
“The deceased was reported to have left home to an unknown
destination since December 8 and had not been seen since then;
hence she was reported missing by her parents at Mowe Police
Station.
“The DPO Mowe Division, Marvis Jayeola, detailed his detectives
to unravel the mystery behind the sudden disappearance of the
22-year- old undergraduate. The detectives went into full scale
technical and forensic investigation of the case and their efforts
paid off when the movement of the deceased was traced to a white
garment church in far-away Ikoyi-Ile in Osun State being headed by
Pastor Segun Philip.
“On getting to the church, the self-acclaimed pastor was
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. The boyfriend was traced and
apprehended immediately.
“He confessed to the police that the deceased was his girlfriend
and that he lured her to Ikoyi-Ile where he had perfected plans
with the so-called Pastor Philip to use her for money making
ritual.
“He stated further that while the girl was sleeping, the pastor
gave him a pestle which he used to smash the head of the girl and
the pastor quickly used a knife to cut off her neck, ripping open
her chest and removing her heart, which he used in preparing a
concoction for him and his mother to eat.
“When asked what pushed him to such devilish act, Owolabi said
he decided to go into money ritual because things were not going
well with his parents economically, most especially his mother, who
used to be the breadwinner of the family; and when he sought
assistance from the pastor, he was asked to bring a human being for
that purpose and the available person at that time was his
girlfriend.
“Police Commissioner Kenneth Ebrimson has directed that the
suspects be transferred to the Homicide Section of the State
Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for
investigation.
“The police boss, who described the gruesome murder as a high
degree of wickedness, has vowed to ensure that the suspects face
the full wrath of the law.”
