A
25-year-old bricklayer, Akinloye Anuoluwapo, has been arrested by the police
for slaughtering his 21-year-old girlfriend, Rafiyat Akinyemi. Akinloye slit
his ex-girlfriend's throat and had sex with her while she bled to death.
Anuoluwapo slit
Akinyemi’s throat at her family home in Magbon, Ogijo, Ogun state. Punch
Metro gathered that Anuoluwapo allegedly murdered
Akinyemi for her refusal to continue dating him.
An OND graduate of the
Lagos State Polythenic Ikorodu, Akinyemi was said to be home alone last
Wednesday, when Anuoluwapo came calling.
PUNCH
Metro gathered that the embattled lovers, who had dated
for over a year, split up late 2012 despite attempts by Anuoluwapo to prevent
it.
It
was learnt that Anuoluwapo knew that Akinyemi’s mother and siblings usually
left the house before 8am each working day,.
He
subsequently sneaked into Akinyemi’s family home at about 8.30am on the day of
the incident. As expected, Akinyemi was alone.
Anuoluwapo
was said to have made several attempts to have sex with Akinyemi. PUNCH
Metro learnt that it was in the ensuing struggle that
Akinyemi met her end.
Anuoluwapo,
who is being detained at the Ogijo Police Division, said, “I don’t know what
came over me, I just wanted us to reconcile and continue our relationship.
“Each
time we break up, I am always severely affected; I converted from Christianity
to Islam because I wanted to marry her.
“I
even moved from my one-room apartment to self-contained accommodation so that
she would be more comfortable. My visit was meant to be for a discussion but it
degenerated into a quarrel.
“Akinyemi
was not even aware that I had a knife on me when I forcefully had sex with
her.”
The
police said Anuoluwapo used the knife to cut Akinyemi’s throat and later had
sex with her while she bled.
But
the estranged lover claimed that she was still alive when he had sex with her
on the couch in the sitting room.
Unknown
to Anuoluwapo, some neighbours had seen him while he was sneaking into the
house.
It
was gathered that Akinyemi’s corpse was discovered at about 4pm by her mother
and siblings when they returned home.
Although
neighbours suspected Anuoluwapo, none of them initially came forward with
information.
A
police source said, “It was later, someone gave an anonymous tip to the police
that Akinyemi had broken up several times with Anuoluwapo.
“He
said each time; Anuoluwapo would get people from her community or the mosque
where she worshipped to plead with her.”
No
one knew where Anuoluwapo lived or worked. He had recently relocated from his
home at Segun Kehinde Street, Ogijo to the PZ estate. In a bid to locate
Anuoluwapo, police detectives were said to have picked residents who lived
around Akinyemi’s home for questioning. Eventually one of the residents was
said to have revealed Anuoluwapo’s place of work.
“A
team of police detectives went to the company to arrest Anuoluwapo, but were
initially refused entry. Eventually the Divisional Police Officer, SP. Toyin
Afolaogun, had to come with the Divisional Crime Officer before Anuoluwapo
could be arrested,” the source said.
A
frightened Anuoluwapo was said to have immediately confessed his guilt upon
questioning and led police detectives to his house where he had hidden the
murder weapon.
The
Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed the
incident.
He
said, “The shirt which Anuoluwapo had worn to Akinyemi’s house on the day of
the murder was found hidden in a corner with blood stains on it. The knife was
found in his home.
“From
our investigations, Akinyemi was already dead when Anuoluwapo had sex with her.
When her corpse was discovered, her legs were still spread apart and they had
become stiff. Semen too was found on her private part. Akinyemi’s body was
discovered exactly the way Anuoluwapo had left it when he was through.”
