The commissioner of police explained that the Command in an effort to get to the root of the serial murder case in Kwara State succeeded in getting him released to the Command to help in the investigation.

“He also confessed to having earlier sedated and causing the kidnap and killing of one Abubakar Malam Abubakar ‘m’ and killing of one Nafisat Halidu, ‘f’, a casual worker at General Hospital both in Kaiama and concealed her body in a trash-can, filled the trash-can with cement and kept it inside a locked store in the General Hospital Kaiama with the key in his possession.
“He further confessed to killing of one unknown lady buried inside same General Hospital’s store. Both bodies were exhumed, recovered and deposited at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin.
“The suspect also confessed further to have been lured into organ harvesting by a yet-to-be-identified syndicate.”
The police boss added that a discreet investigation is still in progress to unravel other killings perpetrated by the suspect and his syndicate.

Policemen from the Division and a vigilante group in the area were mobilised and stormed the identified farm settlements. They were greeted on arrival at the scene with hail of bullets from the invaders.
The engagement by the police and vigilante group led to the neutralisation of two of the unknown armed men. But one of the vigilante squad sustained gunshot injuries and is presently recuperating.
