The police in Lagos State, yesterday, paraded a 64-year-old herbalist, Alhaji Olatunji Azeez, for allegedly killing a retired customs officer and her 10-year-old daughter by burying them alive.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the suspect was arrested by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), Lagos on Thursday in Ajuwon-Akute area of Ogun State.

The suspect was alleged to have killed Mrs Angela Uzo Kerry and her daughter, Obiajurum.
Speaking to journalists, the commissioner of police in the state, Mr Umar Manko, said that the suspect was arrested through the victim’s vehicle tracking device when her car was traced to a dealer.
He, however, said that the dealer led the police to the suspect.

The police boss said that the suspect allegedly hypnotized the victim after collecting money and property estimated at over N200 million.

Manko also alleged that the suspect killed the victims to cover up the crime.

He said, “the woman gave the suspect millions of naira to make her pregnant. When she discovered the whole issue was fraud, she demanded for her money and in an bid to avoid paying back the money, the suspect allegedly dug a deep well inside his house and placed a mat over it.

“When the woman and her daughter called on him for the collection of the money, he requested them to seat on the mat. As they sat and fell into the well, the suspect covered them up with sand and cemented the place. After his arrest, he led the police to the site where the mother and daughter were buried alive.

“The place was dug up and we recovered the bodies of the victims which we have deposited at Yaba Mainland Hospital for autopsy.

We have concluded our investigation; the suspect will be charge to court for murder this week.”
