How We Killed Him – Suspect Speaks

A suspect linked to the murder of Adeniyi Sanni, a key aide to Senator Solomon Adeola of Ogun West in the National Assembly has revealed how they carried out the act.

This comes after three suspects were apprehended by the Lagos State Police Command.

The suspects, all of whom were ex-offenders, were apprehended in various locations throughout the South West following what the command’s chief, CP Idowu Owohunwa, characterized as a tedious and meticulous investigative series of steps. At the command center in Ikeja, they were paraded yesterday.

Speaking with journalists, one of the suspects, Fred, an indigene of Lagos State said: “I am from Lagos Island. At 11.30p.m., Segun spotted the car and alerted us. Lucky was putting on a military uniform and cap. He also held a torch light. We stopped the car and I walked to the other side and asked the man to show me the customs documents. He started making a call but I didn’t know who exactly he was talking to. He said the document was inside the car.

“He started shouting, asking what else we wanted since he had given us the particulars. He started shouting for help and at the same time, shouting ‘thief’.

“He came out of the car and started running. I fired two bullets from my gun. Lucky also shot at him and the man fell.

“Segun and I pulled him into the back seat and we drove off. Yet, he kept shouting. Segun, who sat with him at the back stabbed him with a knife in the chest. I asked why he did that because the plan was not to kill him. We dropped his body by the road and drove to the border town of Chikunda in Kwara State, from where we called Alhaji.

“He sent someone who passed us through the border into the Benin Republic. We negotiated N3 million for the car, but Alhaji told us to drop the vehicle and leave, with a promise to send money to us the next time we brought another vehicle. But he never made the payment until we were arrested.”
