We learnt that the killer soldier had visited his girlfriend, Amada
David, at Agbado Junction around 3.30pm, last Thursday, in company with his
colleague, Damilare Oni.
The soldiers went to the area on a power bike. It was gathered that after
a short discussion, Odedeji and his girlfriend decided to go out on a
motorbike. He was said to have stopped Niyi.
An eyewitness, Akinjobi, revealed that Niyi declined on the grounds that
he did not have a ticket to operate in the Ijaiye area. Akinjobi said, “The
soldier (Odedeji) was angry that the okada rider said no to a military man and
started flogging him with a horsewhip.
Suddenly, he brought out a long knife and stabbed the man on the thigh.
He also stabbed him on the waist and stomach. He was so confident that he robbed
off the bloodstains on the knife on the man’s head.
He boasted that he had killed many people. He and his colleague escaped
on the power bike, while the lady took another motorcycle. We quickly alerted
the police.”
A team of policemen, led by the Agbado Divisional Police Officer, CSP
Sunday Omonijo, immediately went after the suspects, and arrested them. Odedeji
stabbed one of the policemen on the arm in the course of his arrest.
He is part of the troops deployed in Borno State to fight Boko Haram. The
Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Abimbola Oyeyemi, who confirmed
the incident, said the suspects would soon be charged to court.
