The CP said, “Upon interrogation, he explained that he managed to escape from custody when an Inspector attached to the Divisional Police Headquarters, Mokola gave him the permission to take his bath within the premises of the station.
“He also confessed that on August 13 at about 2:30p.m, he attacked one Mrs. Funmilayo Oladeji in her house at Onikeke community in Akinyele.
“He stated that he inflicted machete injury on the woman’s head and left her in the pool of her blood.”
When Shodipe was asked where he went to after his escape, he said he went to Akinyele again and confessed that he killed another victim there.
The CP said the suspect was kept in police custody because the prisons pleaded to keep him due to space constraint and COVID-19 pandemic.
