Orekoya had allegedly hired three men in Ibadan giving them an advance of N140,000 to carry out this task.
When the men arrived lagos on
Saturday, May 10, 2014 they had a meeting at a night club in Allen
Avenue Ikeja, to finalize their plans for the operation.
A SARS informant who eavesdropped on their conversation immediately alerted the officer in charge of SARS, SP Abba Kyari.
A team of SARS operatives were sent
by Kyari who stormed the night club around 1am and arrested three of the
suspects while one of them escaped.
When the police searched the suspects, guns were found on them including a picture of their target.
A police report reads: “Around 1am
on May 10, 2014, information was received that four assassins were sent
from Ibadan by one Adebayo Orekoya, aka Bobby Ibadan, who lives in
Ibadan GRA, Oyo State.
“The instruction given to the assassins was to kill one Ade Victor Adelakun of Ogudu GRA, Lagos.
“Consequently, two SARS teams
proceeded to the night club where the suspects were planning their
attack. Three men, Ibrahim Lawal, 27; Yomi Olanrewaju, 25; and Emmanuel
Adewale, 25; were arrested, while their driver, identified only as
Samuel, escaped in a Sienna Spacebus.
“Upon interrogation, the suspects
confessed that Bobby Ibadan sent them to kill Ade Lexus, his former
business partner. N100,000 out of the N140,000 given to the suspects as
mobilisation fee have been recovered as well as a picture of the
victim.”
SARS detectives were able to establish contact with Bobby Ibadan using the telephone of one of the suspects.
Bobby Ibadan, who did not know that
SARS had arrested his boys, was alleged to have said, “I want that job
done today by all means. Go to the night club where Ade Lexus hangs out
and go and kill him there. If you don’t see him at the night club, go to
his house and get the job done.”
Before the SARS detective could get to Ibadan, he had already escaped.
Ade Lexus was contacted at his
showroom on Lateef Jakande Street, Ikeja by the police and he was
informed of the failed assasination attempt on his life by Bobby
He thanked SARS men for the “incredible work”, insisting he was still alive because of their efforts.
He said, “I dont understand why Bobby Ibadan would want to terminate my life.
“Bobby is not my business associate,
He is not my friend either. A friend of mine in the United Kingdom was
the one that introduced him to me. I have met with Bobby only on a few
occasions.
“If he had succeeded with the
assassination, no one would have suspected him because he does not stay
in Lagos and we do not chat often. He told me to lend him money a while
ago for a business project, but I turned him down. Maybe that is what
made him angry.
“Also, the arrested suspects said
Bobby alleged that I snatched his wife. That is not true; I am a happily
married man with beautiful children.
“Anyway, I must thank SARS men for
this breakthrough. I was surprised to receive a call from the SARS
commander that I was the target of an assassination. I did not know the
Nigeria Police worked in such a manner, I am impressed.”
