According to him, “On 17th September, 2022, when I got home from work, I took the key of our church because my mum is the cleaner of the church and went to church.

“I already knew the time Ifeoluwa would pass through our church to her own church. She eventually passed and I asked her to assist me to carry some of the chairs I packed.

“I took out my knife from my pocket and told her not to shout; I wanted to collect her phone but she dragged the knife with me and the knife fell down.

“Whle trying to escape, she got weak and I raped her. I took her phone and requested for her password; she gave me wrong password, when I discovered that, I strangulated her.” He said.
