In a startling confession, Dolapo admitted to not only murdering his friend but also confessing to the killings of his cousin and three other individuals, all in pursuit of motorcycles which he stole after the gruesome acts.
According to police reports, Dolapo's reign of terror spanned across multiple states, with killings reported in Kabba, Kogi State, Ife along Ilesha road in Osun State, and Ondo town in Ondo State.
"In October 2023, the suspect and an accomplice killed his childhood friend, dismembered his body, and handed the remains to herbalists for rituals," stated police officials. "The accomplice and receivers of stolen items have been apprehended, with motorcycles recovered as evidence. However, one suspect remains at large."
Dolapo, in a shocking interview, detailed his gruesome methods, stating, "At the point where we snatched motorcycles, anyone who struggled with me in the process got hit on the head with a fat stone and a stick."
In a separate incident, Adetokunbo Adesina, alleged to have falsely claimed to be an assassin, was arrested after extorting ₦110,000 from a victim by threatening her life. The victim, fearing for her safety, complied with the demands.
Meanwhile, Ondo State Police Commissioner, Peter Abayomi, disclosed the arrest of a 30-year-old man, Abdullahi Fatai, suspected of murdering his wife, Olayode Morenike. Preliminary investigations suggest domestic disputes as a motive for the heinous crime.
"These cases underscore the gravity of violence in our communities and the importance of swift police action," stated Commissioner Abayomi. "We remain committed to ensuring justice for the victims and their families, and to upholding the safety and security of all residents."
