I Learnt Money Making Ritual Ingredients On Facebook – Teenager Who Killed Lover

Soliu Majekodunmi, the 18-year-old who connived with three of his friends to kill his girlfriend, Sofiyah, for suspected money ritual has said that he learnt the practice through Facebook.

While being paraded before newsmen on Monday, January 31, Majekodunmi said he typed “how to make money ritual” on Facebook and got the detail, adding that the link instructed him to behead and burn a female skull in a local pot.

Majekodunmi added that he conspired with his friend, Mustakeem Balogun, and two others to lure Sofiyah to their apartment in the Oke Aregba area of Abeokuta, where she was killed.

Soliu stated that he squeezed his late girlfriend’s neck and beheaded her immediately after making love with her.

They confessed to killing the girl, claiming that they concluded on money ritual because they wanted to ride exotic cars and live in luxury apartments. The suspects added that they purchased three pigeon eggs known as ‘Eyin Aparo’ in Yoruba language and other fetish ingredients which they added in the local pot.

They however said, the sum of the money making ritual ingredients cost N2,500 which they contributed among themselves.

The State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi while parading the suspects at the police command, Eleweran, Abeokuta said, the incident was as a result of bad parenting.

The police spokesperson urged nollywood actors and religious bodies to desist from preaching prosperity.

He said “This can only be described as superlative degree of callousness , it is despicable and it is barbaric at this time for somebody to still have it in mind that until they use the life of a human being like them before they can get money and more so, what is it that teenagers want to use money for that will lead them to this type of heinous crime, it is still beyond the comprehension of normal human being

“I want to advise that many parents have failed in their responsibilities, this is a result of bad parenting, it is a result of complete failure of parental responsibility because if this thing has not been encouraged by the parents, I do not believe that any properly brought up child will want to embark on this type of criminality.

“I also want to advise that the generality of people have a lot of work to do, the religious body , entertainment body and everybody that has one thing or the other on protecting life and properties.

“The religious body should stop preaching only prosperity, you should be preaching morality more than they way you preach prosperity. The nollywood actors should please , the sensor board has a lot to do to regulate the type of film they will be producing because some of them learnt it in the movie, no matter how that film ended we should discourage it”.
