Speaking with journalists, one of the suspects, Peter Samuel, confessed that he was contacted by the ringleader, Sunday Agbenke.

“I was called by Agbenke. He told me about an Okada rider who usually gave him rides had recently bought a new bike. He suggested we kill him and steal the bike,” Samuel said.

“He told me that after we stole the bike, we could sell it and make a lot of money. That’s how we got ourselves into this big trouble.

“When we tried to carry out the plan, we couldn’t take the bike because we encountered a vigilante group on our way. We abandoned the bike and ran into the bush.

“The Okada rider had taken us to Oloru. On our way back, one of my companions dropped his slipper. When I went to pick it up, my brother hit the rider on the head with a plank.

“The rider fell down, and I used a cutlass to behead him,” the suspect added.
