Saidu Shakiru Adeyemi,
the alleged lover of Miss Khadijat Oluboyo; the slain daughter of the former
deputy governor of Ondo State, Mr Lasisi Oluboyo has denied his involvement in
her death.
Khadijat a 25 year-old
final year student of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, was on
Sunday reportedly found dead in Adeyemi’s Akure home.
His denial was made
public when he was paraded before journalists at the headquarters of the Ondo
State Police Command on Wednesday, July 11 in Akure.
According to him, it was
the slain girl that brought two boys into his room, who eventually killed her.
Stating his innocence, he
said: “I didn’t kill Khadija Oluboyo’’
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 in 2017, said he had no reason to kill her because
he hoped to use her father’s connection to secure job.
Narrating his side of the
story, he said Khadijat Oluboyo came to his house on Thursday because
of her project which he was helping her to do.
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.
“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,” Adeyemi said.
Femi Joseph, the Police Public
Relations Officer said he would soon be charged to court after due
investigation.
