He sai he committed the crime inside a church at Olodo in Ibadan, capital city of Oyo State.

He said, “On 17th September 2022, I went back home around 1 pm from work because we didn’t have work that day. We were just sleeping at shop, I told my boss that I wanted to go and ease myself, my boss said I shouldn’t stay long.

“When I get home, I took the key of our church because my mum is the cleaner of the church and went to church.

“I packed all chairs in the church together, I already know the time Ifeoluwa will pass through our church to her church. She eventually passed and I asked her to assist me to carried some of the chairs I packed.

“I took out knife from my pocket and I told her not to shout. I wanted to attack her to collect her phone but she dragged the knife with me and the knife fell down.

“She fall down and hit her head on ground. While trying to escape, she got weak and I raped her. I took her phone and requested for her password, she gave me wrong password, when I discovered that, I strangulated her.”

The state police commissioner Adebowale Williams said operatives attached to Iyana-Offa Divisional Police Headquarters were intimated about the sudden disappearance of Ifeoluwa, who left for church but never returned.

“A search party was immediately organised to know what caused her disappearance. While this was ongoing as a call was placed to the Parents of the deceased by an unknown caller stating clearly the deceased had been abducted,” he said.

He said preliminary investigation showed the body of the deceased was later found beside a Bible school at Olodo Area with a bloody genital coupled with marks of violence.

The case, according to him, has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
