Jealousy Made Me Kill My ‘Godson’, His Girlfriend – Suspect

A murder suspect and cultist, Babatunde Muritala (aka Muri Ete), who allegedly killed one Oriade Adebisi and his girlfriend in Ogun State recently has said that jealousy and threats from the cult group which the late Oriade belongs made him kill him.

Babatunde who spoke from the cells of the Abba Kyari-led Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris Intelligence Response Team (IRT) in Lagos, said the late Oriade was like his godson even though they belong to different cult groups.

“He is a member of Alora Confraternity, which is the cult group that wears yellow dress and beret, while I belong to the Aiye Confraternity, otherwise known as the Black Axe . We wear black.”

According to the suspect who said he dropped out in 200 level where he was studying business administration at Tai Solarin University, said he groomed the late Oriade as a godson, but when he started making it in life, he refused to be paying homage to him as his godson and was not giving him money as he expected.

The suspect who is under close monitoring by Philip Rieninwa, a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), coordinator of IGP South-West IRT who is equally working round the clock to arrest one Rasaaq, the third suspect in the murder case, said he also killed the girlfriend of Oriade to cover up his crime as the girl was in the car with the victim, when they were abducted.

He said when he pressed Oriade several times to give him money, the deceased was only promising him, so he became angry with him.

Babatunde claimed that what made him angrier was when the members of the cult which Oriade belonged, the Alora confraternity started sending threat messages to kill him, adding that that was why he quickly conspired with his own cult boys to kill Oriade.
