It is reported that the deceased was said to be on her way to church for service when the suspect under a false pretence sought her assistance in his own church that was close by.

The suspect who was paraded before the newsmen at the State Police Headquarter, Eleyele, Ibadan on Tuesday, September 20, said his mother is a member of the sanitation department in the Church, hence his access to the key of the church.

“On 17th September, 2022, I went back home from work around 1pm because we didn’t have work that day. We were just sleeping at the shop. I told my boss that I wanted to go and ease myself, and he said I shouldn’t stay long. When I got home, i took the key of our church because my mum is the cleaner of the church and went to church. I packed all the chairs in the church together; I already knew the time Ifeoluwa will pass through our church to her own church. She eventually came and I asked her to assist me to carry some of the chairs I packed.
.
“I brought out the kn#fe in my pocket and told her not to shout. I wanted to sc@re her to collect her phone but she dr@gged the kn#fe with me and the kn#fe fell to the floor. She also fell down and h#t her head on the floor while trying to escape. She couldn’t stand up because she was weak. I r@ped her and took her phone. I requested for her password but she gave me the wrong password. When I discovered, I str@ng¥lated her,” the suspect explained.
