The Lagos State Police Command on Monday paraded a 64-year-old native doctor, Alhaji Olatunji Azeez, who confessed to have killed a retired customs officer, Mrs. Angela Kerry, and her 10-year-old adopted daughter, Obiagulum, on May 10, 2014.
The decomposed bodies of the woman and her daughter were found in Azeez’s
house in Ire Akari Crescent, Ajuwon Akute, Ogun State by operatives of
the Lagos State Special Anti-Robbery Squad. The police subsequently
marked the building as a kidnapper’s den.
Azeez, an Oyo State indigene with three wives and
five children, said he was forced to kill the customs officer and her
daughter after she threatened to kill him over a sum of money.
He explained:
“I have been a trado-medical doctor for about 30 years, but I knew
Angela over five years ago. She initially came to me for protection from
family attacks. One of her friends called Lizzy introduced her to me.
“The relationship began to grow, and she kept patronizing me for one thing or the other.
“Then, about three years ago, she mentioned her barrenness problem,
adding that the daughter that was with her was adopted. I was shocked.
“But when she told me her age, I told her it was impossible to make
her pregnant. But she insisted that prophets in the churches she went
had assured her she would get pregnant.”
Azeez reportedly lied to the woman that she would get pregnant and collected N9m from her for the job.
Azeez said:
“I did the normal concoction for her, but it didn’t work because of
her age. But I collected the money because I knew if I did not, she
would go to where they would collect it.
“After some months without result, she came to my place to complain.
She then demanded a refund, but I told her that I could not repay it.
“She then began to threaten me. Within a month, I tried to repay
N2.5m. On that fateful week, she came back for the remaining N6.5m.
“It was Saturday, May 17. She came with her daughter and insisted
that she wanted her balance. She said as a retired customs officer, she
could kill me if I didn’t pay back the money.
“Then I thought, I must kill this woman before she killed me. The
hole at the back of my house was not built for killing. It was dug for
drainage during rainfalls.”
Azeez added that he went to the backyard, covered
the hole with a white cloth that Angela normally saw in another shrine
in his house.
He said:
“After we talked, we moved with her daughter to the place. I said she should kneel down on the mat with her daughter.
“She did so and fell into the pit with her daughter. The operation
was successful because no member of my family was around in the house.
“I then began to cover the pit up with sand. I poured in roughly 50
buckets of sand. The following day, I got two bricklayers to cement the
portion. But I had first taken out the belongings she brought.”
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Umar Manko,
stated that the police had concluded their investigations on the case,
adding that the native doctor was going to be charged to court for
murder.
He said:
“Azeez was arrested through a tracking device installed on the
victim’s Toyota Camry. Azeez, an herbalist, had hypnotized the woman for
a long time.
“He had taken over N200m from her both in cash and property. We
discovered he cleverly constructed a well in his house, lured the woman
with her daughter into the room, and buried them alive.
“We were able to recover the decomposed bodies of the victims from
the well. We also picked their property which was buried along with
them. We have finished our investigations, and he will be charged to
court for murder. We will leave the rest to be decided by the court.”
