“I regret k+lling Christiana because my mum and her mum were friends,” says arrested OOU serial killer
23-year-old Ayomide Adeleye, a 300-level philosophy student of Olabisi Onabanjo University, OOU, who k+lled 18-year-old FUNAAB student Christiana Idowu and buried her in his parents’ home in Ikorodu, has shared more details while showing
remorse for his actions.
Ayomide, who is now in the custody of the Lagos State Police Command Tactical Unit, Ikeja, said he regrets his actions and that he even tried to end it all but vigilant security agents stopped him.
Recounting how he k+lled Christiana, he told Vanguard: “I had not been at home for over six months. The victim, Christiana Idowu, 18, contacted me several times in school where I was studying Philosophy, in 300 level. She had been contacting me that she wanted to repair her phone because I had repaired it for her before.”
We were church members. I had known her for three years before the incident. She had been contacting me and I told her I would be at home at the end of the session. When I came back to Lagos, she called and I told her I was at home. She came to our house around 5pm on the day of the incident and asked me to repair her phone. She was an Industrial Training, IT, student in Yaba College of Technology. She came with a bike. She had her bag and other things she used in school.
So, when she arrived, I collected the phone from her, looked at it, and I discovered that the phone only had battery problem and the screen was faulty. I just needed to put gum on the screen and change the battery. But she was not ready to change the battery, she just wanted to continue using the phone like that.”
On why he kill3d her, he said: “I kill3d her because I had financial problems. I thought of the problems and decided to str3ngle her while she was busy going through my phone. I then called her mother claiming that she was kidnapped and she should pay ransom.
