The Oyo state police command on Friday paraded a commercial motorcyclist, Gbenga Oduola, 37, for beheading a five-year-old boy, Opeyemi Fadeyi, as well raping his mother, Bosede, 34, serially.
Briefing journalists at the command headquarters’ in Eleyele, Ibadan, Oyo state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Shina Olukolu, said the incident occurred on December 9, 2019, at a house at Imeleke Road, Lawal Estate Area of Igboora, the headquarters of Ibarapa Central local government area of Oyo state.
The police boss said the Okada rider on that day carried Bosede and her son from Oja-Oba in Igboora and forcefully had carnal knowledge of her three times before daybreak.
“The following day, December 9, 2019, the said commercial motorcycle rider took the victim’s son to another room and beheaded him. He claimed to have dumped the remains at a nearby bush beside his house. The remaining body part was later recovered at the backyard of Oduola Gbenga’s house and deposited at the General Hospital mortuary for autopsy,” he said.
Fielding questions from journalists, the Okada rider confirmed that he committed the crime, saying, “I carried her and her son on my bike in Igboora.
“Immediately I saw them, I knew they were visitors to Igboora. They asked me to take them to their house and instead I took them to my house. While on the bike, I told the woman that I liked her and I wanted her to be my wife. She agreed. So, I took her to my house. So, I had sex with her. It is true that I killed her son on the second day.”
On why he killed the boy, Oduola said, “I just killed him because I did not want any disturbance between his mother and myself. I buried his head in my shop and I put her body in a black nylon and threw it in the bush. I am a bicycle repairer and an okada man.”
