- Son, Prophet Bag Death Sentence
AFTER three years of trial, an Osun State High Court sitting in Ikire has sentenced a 46-year-old woman, Bola Adeeko, to two years imprisonment for eating the cooked heart of a deceased final year student of Lagos State University (LASU), Favour Duley Oladele.
The prosecution team from the state Ministry of Justice had informed the court during trial that the convicts committed the offence on 8th December 2019 and arraigned in court on 15 November 2021.
The court also convicted Adeeko’s 23-year-old son who was a student of LASU, Owolabi Adeeko for luring his schoolmate and girlfriend, Favour from Ogun State to Osun to be killed for a money ritual.
Those convicted were first charged to court in January 2020 and remanded in prison for their involvement in the killing of Favour Oladele, then a student of Lagos State University.
The prosecution counsel told the court how Owolabi had asked Favour, his girlfriend, through a phone call on 8th December 2019, to come and meet his uncle at Ikoyi-Ile.
Upon the arrival of the deceased to the Ikoyi-Ile community, the prosecutor said Owolabi took Favour to Prophet Philip Segun’s Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Solution Chapel, Ikoyi-Ile, where she was killed and dismembered and her heart was eaten by Owolabi’s mother in order to get rich.
Delivering her judgement, the trial judge, Justice Christiana Obadina held that the prosecuting team had proven its case beyond reasonable doubt and therefore, found Prophet Segun and Owolabi guilty as charged and were sentenced to death for the murder of Favour and also bagged 14 years imprisonment for conspiracy.
The mother of Owolabi, who was not privy to the killing of Favour but was only given a concoction to eat, was convicted for eating human flesh and sentenced to two years imprisonment.
