The Kogi State Police Command has paraded four suspects in connection with the kiling of Damilola Olowoyo, a 19-year-old 100 level student of the Federal University Lokoja.
The four suspects paraded included Jeremiah Paul, the principal suspect, who was arrested around the Felele area of the state capital on Wednesday, Emmanuel Otitoju, Banabas Olugbenga and Ajayi Basit Ayomide. Paul, a 20-year-old who hails from Chikun Local Government of Kaduna State, confessed to committing the crime.
In his confessional statement, Paul said, “I came to Kogi State to hustle. I met Damilola last Sunday. I approached her and she accepted. We started chatting.

I already had it in mind that I wanted to use Damilola for ritual. I bought codeine and sprite and mixed it up and gave it to her. I first drank it so that she wouldn’t suspect it.
When she drank it, I told her let us go to my house and she agreed. When she felt weak, I took her to an uncompleted building close to my place and strangled her to death.
