Amos Olaleye, 29, told the Nigeria Police that his mother urged him to kill his sister and spend the night with her corpse in an effort to get rich and escape poverty.
On his way to toss his sister’s body into a river, the internet fraudster, also known as “Yahoo boy” in Nigeria, was detained by police officers working with the Lagos State Police Command during a stop-and-search operation on Itamaga-Ikorodu Road.
However, he said that his mother had purchased the poison that she reportedly put in his sister’s meal to kill her in order to plan the murder of his sister.
According to a Daily Trust article, the defendant who is charged with culpable homicide made this comment in his confessional testimony.
The suspect, who is being detained at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti, Yaba, also admitted to having sexual intercourse with the corpse of his deceased sister and sucking her vagina.
Olaleye told the police in his confessional statement, “My mother was the one who took me to a native doctor. While with the native doctor, he said I would have to sacrifice one of my siblings if I wanted to be successful. He said the one to be sacrificed must be the one I loved most.
“I am into Yahoo business. After hearing from him, it took me months before I could make up my mind if I actually wanted to embark on the assignment.”
Continuing, he said, “While I was grappling with the thought, my mother kept encouraging me to kill my sister so that we could be rich and bring to an end the poverty in the family.”
“My mother planned the entire incident by going out to buy poison which she put in my sister’s food. The native doctor also instructed that I must sleep with my sister’s corpse and suck her vagina before throwing the corpse into a river for the ritual to be completed,” he added.
