PUNCH Metro had
reported on Monday that the decomposed bodies of the woman and her
daughter were found in Azeez’s house in Ire Akari Crescent, Ajuwon
Akute, Ogun State by operatives of the Lagos State Special Anti-Robbery
Squad. The police subsequently marked the building as a kidnapper’s den.
Azeez,
an Oyo State indigene with three wives and five children, said he was
forced to kill the customs officer and her daughter after she threatened
to kill him over a sum of money.
He
explained, “I have been a trado-medical doctor for about 30 years, but I
knew Angela over five years ago. She initially came to me for
protection from family attacks. One of her friends called Lizzy
introduced her to me. The relationship began to grow, and she kept
patronising me for one thing or the other.
“Then,
about three years ago, she mentioned her barreness problem, adding that
the daughter that was with her was adopted. I was shocked. But when she
told me her age, I told her it was impossible to make her pregnant. But
she insisted that prophets in the churches she went had assured her she
would get pregnant.”
Our correspondent learnt that Azeez later lied to the woman that she would get pregnant and collected N9m from her for the job.
Azeez
added, “I did the normal concoction for her, but it didn’t work because
of her age. But I collected the money because I knew if I did not, she
would go to where they would collect it. After some months without
result, she came to my place to complain. She then demanded a refund,
but I told her that I could not repay it. She then began to threaten me.
Within a month, I tried to repay N2.5m. On that fateful week, she came
back for the remaining N6.5m.
“It
was Saturday, May 17. She came with her daughter and insisted that she
wanted her balance. She said as a retired customs officer, she could
kill me if I didn’t pay back the money. Then I thought, I must kill this
woman before she killed me. The hole at the back of my house was not
built for killing. It was dug for drainage during rainfallss.”
Azeez
added that he went to the backyard, covered the hole with a white cloth
that Angela normally saw in another shrine in his house.
He
said, “After we talked, we moved with her daughter to the place. I said
she should kneel down on the mat with her daughter. She did so and fell
into the pit with her daughter. The operation was successful because no
member of my family was around in the house.
I
then began to cover the pit up with sand. I poured in roughly 50
buckets of sand. The following day, I got two bricklayers to cement the
portion. But I had first taken out the belongings she brought.”
The
Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Umar Manko, stated that the police
had concluded their investigations on the case, adding that the native
doctor was going to be charged to court for murder.
He said, “The woman and her daughter were reported missing on May 10 at the Oko Oba Police Division by the family.
“Azeez
was eventually arrested through a tracking device installed on the
victim’s Toyota Camry. Azeez, an herbalist, had hypnotized the woman for
a long time. He had taken over N200m from her both in cash and
property. We discovered he cleverly constructed a well in his house,
lured the woman with her daughter into the room, and buried them alive.
“We
were able to recover the decomposed bodies of the victims from the
well. We also picked their property which was buried along with them. We
have finished our investigations, and he will be charged to court for
murder. We will leave the rest to be decided by the court.”
