Lagos: Hired Assassin Falls In Love With Target

Lagos: Hired Assassin Falls In Love With Target

One Tayo Adeyemi, 24, has been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command during which he confessed to have fallen in love with a female hotel lodger in the Alakija, Satellite Town area of the state, whom he was hired to kill. He was arrested last week Thursday.

PUNCH reports that Adeyemi, who hails from Kwara State, was arrested by the police after he sneaked into the hotel and demanded that his target, simply known as Rosemary, had sex with him so he would spare her life.

Report has it that two Wednesdays ago, Adeyemi was brought by two gang members on a motorcycle to the hotel to kill Rosemary.

But upon sighting his target, Adeyemi fell in love with her and eventually attempted to rape her after she declined his pleas to have sex with him.

Rosemary, however, raised the alarm. The hotel management subsequently called the police, and Adeyemi was arrested.

A locally-made pistol and a live cartridge were recovered from Adeyemi who has since been transferred to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Ikeja.

The police said the suspect belonged to a three-man gang, adding that a manhunt had been launched for the fleeing two gang members.

Narrating what transpired, Adeyemi said, “I was working as a casual worker at a bottling company in the Apapa area before I met the gang members in the Ajegunle area. A friend, Wisdom, had invited me to stay in his house.

“His friends, who are Eiye Confraternity members, saw me and said they had a job for me. They said the job was to kill a woman. I said I could not do such a job, but they threatened to kill me and since they had guns, I was afraid.

“Finally, I was left with no option but to do their wish. One of them, Ahmed, gave me the gun and they brought me on a motorcycle to the hotel. But when I got to the hotel room and saw the woman, I fell in love with her and I had mercy on her.

“I told her that I was sent to kill her, but since I loved her, I would just have sex with her. When she declined, I offered her N1,500, and said I would take her necklaces and wristwatch away and lie to my gang members that she had been killed. But she raised the alarm.

“Everyone in the hotel called the police, the Oodua Peoples’ Congress and other vigilance groups. The hotel management called the police at the Satellite Town division.

“When my parents heard about my arrest, they were disappointed. I told them that I was being threatened by the cult members. I did not mean to kill the lady. Otherwise, I would have shot her and run away.”

The state Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, said the command would continue to clampdown on criminals in the state.
