A middle-aged man, Tope Adegbehingbe, has explained why he killed his
86-year-old neighbour, Mrs Janet Oyeniyi, at Ajebambo village near
Oniparaga in Odigbo Local Government Area of Ondo State.
Adegbehingbe, who was arraigned before an Akure Chief Magistrates’
Court yesterday, said he murdered the octogenarian because he saw her in
his dream trying to kill him.
Although Adegbehingbe’s plea was not taken as the court has no
jurisdiction to entertain murder trial, the accused, however, said he
took the measure because the woman was a witch. The accused said he
attacked the woman with machete in early hours of that fateful day.
In his confessional statement made available to reporters at Oke-Eda
Magistrates’ Court in Akure, yesterday, Adegbehingbe confessed that he
was guilty of the murder charge brought against him.
