Friends and family are still in tears over the gruesome murder of a
First Class 300 Level undergraduate of Delta State University (DELSU),
Abraka.
The pathetic confessional statements of the 4-man gang believed to be internet fraudsters,
Yahoo boys, were made on Wednesday (yesterday), at the Delta State Police Command, where the suspects were paraded.
The suspects revealed how they killed the student, identified as Elozino
Joshualia Ogege with the help of a security guard, Onos who offered to
assist the victim secure an accommodation.
I was contacted by
Desmond and another to provide a female student for Yahoo rituals. We
had planned it, and when Elozino approached me that she was looking for
accommodation, I saw it as a good opportunity”.
“I contacted Desmond who told me to tell her to come back the next
day. So the next day, they brought a Corola car; and when Elozino came,
they used something on her face which made her unconscious. We took her
to a bush where we first plucked out one of her eyes while she was still
alive. She was even crying and begging us to forgive her and let her
go, but we plucked the other eye, removed her breast and heart before
she died”.
Implicating his supervisor, Onos posited that he was posted into the
school by his supervisor for the purposes of carrying out such missions
when contacted.

But the Supervisor with a security company attached to the
University, Uche Nwaosisi who said he is from Asaba, denied knowledge of
the crime, stating that he was among those that chased and caught Onos
when the police came after him in the school.
“When all these were
happening, Onos threatened to implicate me for assisting the police to
catch him. When the police caught him, they discovered two phones with
him, which he claimed I sold one to him. That was my involvement “, the
supervisor claimed.
However, one of the Yahoo Plus conspirators, Desmond who appeared
remorseful, affirmed that the Elozino’s murder made it the fifth life he
has taken for ritual purposes. He said the first four female victims
were adopted at Oghara and killed for the rituals, adding that Elozino’s
murder was his first from the University community in Abraka.
According to him,
“Each time we killed,
we removed the vital organs like the eyes, the heart and the breast of
the victims, normally females, and take to the Baba (herbalist), who
usually would ask us to come back”.
“Baba used to burn the heart and pound it to make powder substance
out of it. It is the powder that he gives us, which we apply before
speaking to our victims to make money from them. Any big woman we
approach obliges us and provides money for us”, Desmond revealed.
For the native doctor who appeared hardened and unrepentant,
identified as Robinson, he kept calling on God as a witness that he was
speaking the truth. He said Elozino’s heart and eye happened to be the
first he received from the Yahoo Plus customers.
He said he first met the boys seven years ago when they brought an
accident victim for him to cure, maintaining that he specializes in
treating bone fractures, making women pregnant, preparing love portions
for people, curing appendicitis and others.
He said when they came with Elozino’s body parts, they gave him
N10,000, promising to give him more money later, and asked him to make
them rich.
The Baba (herbalist), posited that they later brought N130,000 more
to him and that was when he discovered they had mighty buildings. He
said he only prayed for them to succeed in what they do.
He however, could not state categorically what he used those body
parts for, whether he used to burn them or pound them in the mortal that
was brought as evidence to the Police Headquarters.
The second Yahoo Plus member was alleged to have slumped and died
when the police was close to catching him. The minor female relative who
was used to make a call relating to their illicit operation was
arrested and still with the police.
Addressing the journalists, the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP
Andrew Aniamaka maintained that, now that all the killers of Elozino had
been caught except the one that slumped and died, the police would now
arraign them in court to face the consequences of their action.

He stressed that nobody should blame hardship to take up arms against
fellow humans, adding that in most sane climes, hardships even bond
people together.
The Command’s Spokesperson posited that it is an issue of value
orientation; thereby calling on families, churches and other faith based
organizations to rise up against this menace of ritual killings
plaguing our society.
Aniamaka reassured the public that the Command was ready to face headlong any security challenge ahead of the Christmas season.
He said the operations order for the Ember months had since been
dropped, arguing that all the police crack teams like the Dragons, Eagle
Net, Squadrons, Safer Highways, SARS and others had been on red alert
to effectively curtail crimes and criminality within this period.”
