A murder suspect, Wahab Hammed, has admitted to killing his friend, Wasiu Oguntade, over oppression from Yahoo-Yahoo proceed in Modakeke, Osun State.
Hammed who is a tailor and part-time commercial motorcyclist was recently paraded by the Osun State Police Command, alongside his friend, Ayobami Adegoke
Wahab and Adegoke were recently paraded by the men of the Osun State Police Command for the alleged murder of a fellow suspected Internet fraudster, Wasiu Oguntade.
In an interview with The PUNCH, he explained that he killed Oguntade because he was oppressing him with the proceeds acquired from his “Yahoo Yahoo” activities.
“What happened was that Ayobami and I killed Wasiu because he was always oppressing me with the proceeds of his Yahoo Yahoo activities. He was making good money from Yahoo Yahoo. I was into it too, but I was not so lucky. Whenever he made good money, he would come to me and be flaunting it. At times, he would even send me on errands because of the money he had made. One day, an evil plan formed in my mind and I decided to collect money from him. I didn’t plan to kill him.
“The incident happened on Sunday, August 8, this year. We took him to a location far from our residential area in Modakeke under the guise of wanting to sell a parcel of land to him. He had informed me that he wanted to buy land and I told him that I had someone that could get a good location for him.
“So when Wasiu called me that Sunday that he was ready to go and see the land I told him we had found, I immediately informed Ayo and he said I should bring him. Wasiu, Ayo, and I went to a place a bit far from the residential area in Modakeke. We went on Wasiu’s motorcycle. Wasiu rode the motorcycle, while Ayo gave him the direction to follow. When we got to our destination, Ayo showed Wasiu the land and he checked around. He told us he would think about it before deciding what to do. He also said he would pay in instalments. We were about to leave the area when Ayo held Wasiu from the back and hit him with a machete, cutting his head.” he added.
