Police in
Lagos State have Lagos State have confiscated belongings of Alhaji
Olatunji Azees, who allegedly murdered a 64-year-old retired Customs
officer, Angela Uzo Kery, and her 10-year-old daughter, Obiagulum, at
Wadoye Street, Pipeline, Ajuwon in Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun
State.
It was gathered that policemen attached to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) stormed the community recently, with two trucks and carted away every item inside Azees’ house.
A resident of the street, who craved anonymity, told our correspondent that operatives of SARS came to the herbalist’s house and took away his belongings. He said: “I was resting in my bedroom when my wife came to tell me that policeman were in the community again. I came out to find out what their mission was.
They went inside the herbalist’s building with trucks and locked the gate. “I waited outside my house to see what they wanted to do with the two trucks. But they came out with the man’s belongings.” Another resident, who identified himself simply as John, said he was afraid when he saw the fully armed policemen. He said: “The policemen carted away his chairs, television set, refrigerator, generating set, mattresses and clothes. Others were different charms and local pots with different inscriptions on them.” Some people in the area, however, said the murder of the Customs officer and her adopted daughter was still having a negative impact on their businesses. Mr Philip Mathew, the manager of Osas Hotel, said since the incident, the hotel had been recording low patronage.
He said: “We have lost many of our customers since the murder of the retired Customs officer and her daughter in the herbalist’s house. “Before the incident, we had a lot of patronage. But immediately after the incident, the number of people who come to the hotel dropped drastically. “However, we try to persuade the few who still patronise us. We always try to make them to know that the incident did not occur in our hotel.”
Susan, Kery’s sister, visited the house of the deceased on May 31 but discovered that she and her daughter had not returned home since May 10 when they said they were going for a prayer session at Sango area of Ogun State. The suspect was later arrested with two alleged accomplices by policemen from Oko Oba Police Division after the matter was reported there. During interrogation, Azeez confessed that he killed Kery and her daughter and buried them in his house at No 9, Wadoye Street because the victim was pressuring him to return her money. The decomposing bodies of the victims were later exhumed from a 30-metre well Azees purposely dug for the burial.http://newtelegraphonline.com/customs-officer-daughters-murder-police-seize-herbalists-property/
