The Suspected serial killer in Akinyele Local Government Area in Ibadan, Oyo State, Sunday Shodipe, has said that he killed another woman after his escape from police custody before he was rearrested by the police command.
Commissioner of Police in the state, Nwachukwu Enwonwu, who paraded Shodipe, alongside other suspects on Wednesday, said Shodipe confessed that he went back to Akinyele and carried out another killing after he escaped from police custody.
The CP said the suspect escaped from police custody on August 11 and carried out the killing of Mrs Funmilayo Oladeji at her home two days after his escape.
He said the suspect who was standing trial before his escape would be handed over to the correctional centre soon.
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 stated that he inflicted machete injury on the woman’s head and left her in the pool of her blood.”
Shodipe confirmed to journalists that he went to Akinyele again and killed another victim there after his escape from police custody.
He said he fled the police station to carry out rituals in the interest of one Idris Ajani, a 50-year-old herbalist, he was arrested with. He said the herbalist threatened him in custody, saying there would be dire consequences if he did not escape to continue the killings.
He said, “Baba (herbalist) had been telling Officer Funsho to open the gate to allow us to take our bath but the officer did not answer him. Baba later told the officer that he needed to drink gin as an herbalist to prevent spirits from draining his blood but the officer still did not answer him.
“Baba had been blaming me for telling the police and the public that he was the one that sent me to kill and that I would have been released from the custody if I had been untruthful.
“Baba also told me that something terrible might happen to him if he stayed too long in police custody because of the sacrifices he had not been performing since his arrest.
