The 47-year-old football player, Bankole Oginni, who was detained in Akure, the capital of Ondo state, for the murder of his ex-lover, Bosede Adejoro, has denied being a ritualist.
Bankole admitted to newsmen that she slouched a few minutes after providing one of the alleged criminals soft drinks as they were being paraded together.
During his march at the Akure Police headquarters, Oginni spoke with reporters.
On Saturday, the dead came over to my house after calling the day before to ask for my assistance. She was my ex-girlfriend, and I had been helping her whenever she needed it. She was going to accept the soft drinks I offered her when she slumped, and I was so afraid. I had instructed her to meet me at my parents’ house.
He said that the deceased barely entered his house when she slumped, some few minutes after offering her soft drinks.
According to him, he was scared when the woman slumped and he decided to pour hot water on her body to resuscitate her.
” But when it dawn on me that the she was dead, I poured the hot water on her with the hope that she will wake up. When it dawn on me that she is not going to wake again, I decided to cut her and put it in a sack and dispose it somewhere later.
“I cut her intestines and her so that I can put them inside bags. It was because I was very scared, I was perplexed and I was afraid of the police. I did not do it for any purpose. Nobody sent me to remove her private parts. I did it to cover myself
” I was afraid of the police and wanted to cover up.
” I did not know what to do and that made me take some hard decisions.
The State Police lmage maker, Funmi Odunlami, said that the suspect would soon be charged to court for murder.
