The killer

TORI News reported on Thursday that a mentally-deraged man who went on rampage earlier on Monday, attacked and hacked to death the two pupils of St. John’s Anglican School, Agodo in Ogun Waterside Local Government Area of Ogun state, was apprehended by the Police in Ogun State.

The suspect identified as Lekan Adebisi, who was apprehended on Wednesday in the bush through the combined efforts of the police team attached to Ogbere Area Command, led by an Assistant Commissioner of Police, and some local hunters, confessed yesterday that he attacked and hacked the pupils out of “frustration.”

The Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu, who paraded the suspect, condemned the heinous crime, saying that Adebisi would soon be charged to court.

While speaking in a brief interview with a Daily Sun correspondent, the suspect, who seemed incoherent, said he was 28-years-old and makes a living as a home lesson teacher.

When asked about why he killed the two pupils, he said, “I did not eat for two weeks and I went out to beg for money. Nobody gave me money. When I had money, I took care of family members, friends and even outsiders.”

 

“It was due to frustration, it was due to frustration. When hunger gripped me and it became unbearable, I then thought about my life and I concluded and asked myself: what type of life am I living? It was a bad life, then I went and took cutlass and I was prepared to face the consequence,” he said.
