Saidu-Shakiru Adeyemi, boyfriend
of Khadijat Oluboyo, the slain daughter of Lasisi Oluboyo, former deputy
governor of Ondo state, has denied involvement in her death.
Oluboyo, the 25-year-old final
year student of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, was on Sunday found
dead at the home of her boyfriend in Akure.
Adeyemi denied involvement in
Oluboyo’s death when he faced journalists at the headquarters of the Ondo state
police command.
According to him, it was the
slain girl who brought two boys into his room, who eventually killed her.
Adeyemi explained that he had
dated Oluboyo for four years before they parted ways in 2015, and that they
only reconciled after the last Ramadan celebration.
Adeyemi, who completed his
National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in 2017, said he had no reason to kill her
because he hoped to use her father’s connection to secure job.
He said Oluboyo came to his house
on Thursday because of her project which he was helping her to do.
According to him, they had
finished chapter one and her supervisor had already approved it and she came
for final correction so that she could move to chapter two.
He explained further that the
girl later travelled to Lagos on Friday to buy some wrist watches but she
forgot to drop her project with him and promised to return to school from
Lagos.
“Meanwhile, on Saturday she
snapped both the soft and hard copy of her project to me on my WhatsApp for
correction,” he said.
“On Monday, I believed she was
already in school when she sent me a text message to send her N2,000. But I was
able to send only N1,000.
“So, I was surprised when I heard
a knock on my door later in the day and she entered my room.
“She later told me that she
wanted to receive some visitors in my place, and few minutes later she brought
two boys in. I was not surprised because that was not her first time to bring
someone to my house.
“Later when they came in, we
exchanged greetings and I left them in the room. But after 30 minutes, one of
the boys called me in and I discovered he held a small gun in his hand while
the other boy was on her, naked.
“And I heard Khadijat saying ‘I
will not tell anybody’. The boy strangled her to death and threatened me not to
shout or else they would kill me. They later forced me to find a digger with
which they dug the ground in my room and buried her. They are the ones that
killed and buried her. I could not shout after they left because of the
implication of what has happened, for I was sure nobody would believe me.
“On the fifth day, I was not
comfortable anymore, so I exhumed her body and confided in my younger brother
who advised that we should inform our father about the development. It was my
father who informed the police before I was arrested.”
Femi Joseph, the Police Public
Relations Officer of the command who paraded Adeyemi with other suspects, said
he would be charged to court after completion of investigation
