The Department of State Security Service (DSS), Osun State Command, has
apprehended a herbalist, simply identified as Jelili also known as Ifa (oracle)
and a
commercial driver, Elijah Oyebode for allegedly kidnapping and killing a
400 Level student of Osun State University, Osogbo, Adebisi Rofiat Damilola.
The driver confessed that the herbalist gave him the assignment to bring
a young lady and get N10,000 (ten thousand) as reward. Elijah said Rofiat
boarded his vehicle from Ipetu-Ijesa to Osogbo while returning from the
Ipetu-Ijesa campus of UNIOSUN where the lady was studying Science Education.
It would be recalled that Rofiat who left Ipetu-Ijesa for Osogbo on
December 22nd, 2016 got missing along the way and her corpse was found on the
roadside along Ikirun/Iragbiji road few days later. Elijah who spoke with
Amiloaded correspondent in Yoruba language said “I took her (Rofiat) from Ipetu-Ijesa.
There were other passengers in my vehicle that day. The girl matched the
specification that Ifa (herbalist) gave me. Ifa said I should bring a lady that
has never bore a child. When I saw the student, I was sure very that she had
not given birth to a child”. He continued “Ifa had given me a charm that I will
use to hypnotise any lady that I want to bring. He said once I put the charm in
my pocket, I only need to have body contact with the lady and she would be
hypnotised. The charm was already in my pocket when I saw the lady and I
ensured that my body touched her. From there, she didn’t know anything again.
“After dropping other passengers at the various destinations, I took the
lady to Ifa at his house in Ikirun and he received her and gave me N10,000. I
pity the lady when I was leaving because I knew she would
not come out alive. My conscience was telling me that what I did was
bad”.
“When I left Ifa’s house, I went to a bush to dump the lady’s luggage
which contained some clothes. Few minutes later, her phone started ringing. I
knew her people must be looking for her. I took the phone to Yusuff to help me
sell it. I told Yusuff that a passenger forgot the phone in my vehicle”.
“The phone kept ringing and I later picked it. Yusuff told me that it was
dangerous to receive the call because they could use it to trace us. I removed
the SIM card and threw it away instantly to prevent her people from reaching
us. We sold the phone for N20,000. We shared it N10,000 each”. While speaking
with Amiloaded correspondent the herbalist said the driver was telling lie and
that Elijah was just his contract driver that he used occasionally.
A top DSS official said there was incriminatory evidence against the
herbalist, saying that Ifa was not saying the truth. The Commissioner of police
in the state, Mr Fimihan Adeoye said a joint team of DSS and policemen are
investigating the matter.
