A 28 year old man known has Oriyomi Adigun, pictured above is now on the run after killing his close friend, Oluwafemi Adekeye, 32, in the presence of his 3-year old daughter, on 12 February, 2014 in Ayobo Ipaja area of Lagos.
Oriyomi and Oluwafemi according to Police allegedly belong to a gangster group, but Oluwafemi later pulled out, and Oriyomi is believed to have killed him because of that.
Oluwafemi’s wife, Oluwakemi a 25-year old hairdresser who reported the incident at Oke Odo Police station, said on that faithful day, at around 11pm, she met Oriyomi on their street in a car while she was going to get her husband food and he pointed a gun at her. She said she was scared and he asked her if her husband was home, but she lied and said no. He further probed and threatened her and she had to say the truth. Oriyomi then asked her to remain outside while he went into their house.
The next thing I heard was gunshots she said. He killed him in the presence of our daughter. Our families are very close and his children and my daughter are all friends, she said.
Oriyomi later came out to meet her and said, tell Oyibo I have killed your husband, before fleeing away.
When Police got to Oriyomi’s house, it was obvious he had relocated with his family.
Oriyomi was arrested last year by the police and he confessed belonging to Black Axe confraternity and said he had killed about four people between 2010 and 2013. He was later arraigned in court and was remanded but released after three months under controversial circumstances, report says.
The Police are now in a fresh hunt for him and has been declared wanted.
