A Lagos based car dealer and his wife have been arrested over their alleged involvement in a robbery attack that led to the murder of his US-based mother. The suspects, Adedeji Idowu, 46 and his wife Adebimpe, 30, and two others are currently telling the police how Idowu’s US-based mother, Alhaja Sakirat Idowu, 65, was shot dead following her refusal to part with her money.

The man, who gave a graphic account on how his mother was robbed and finally shot dead, said his intention was not to kill his mother but that the gunmen he hired were overzealous.

He said when he was deported from the US over an Immigration offence, things became very difficult for him and his wife.
He said his mother assisted him by sending him money but the money was not enough for him to set up a business.
He narrated how on a particular day his mother phoned him that she was visiting Nigeria and he told his friend Ologode, how his mother failed to help him recover a debt of N4 million owed him in the US.

According to him, Ologode told him that he would contact some boys who would rob his mother. He said when his mother finally arrived Nigeria, he and Ologode went to the airport to pick her. When they arrived home, the youths Ologode contacted for the robbery had already arrived and were waiting at the gate.

According to him when his mother settled down, he pretended that he was going outside, so, Ologode and his boys carried out the operation.
Ologunde narrated “As I was coming back, I heard gunshot and I knew things had gone awry.”
The man who broke down in tears said: “ I did not send them to kill my mother. I only wanted them to rob her and give me money to set up a business.”
The man who begged his father to forgive him over the dastard act admitted that his late mother had been of great assistance to him and his family.

He said after the robbery operation he got a share of N200 dollars. “I don’t even know how much Ologode and his boys collected. They only gave me 200 dollars, laptop and jewelry, which I gave to my wife.”
His wife, Adebimpe in her own story claimed that she only knew about her husband’s involvement in the robbery after the operations.
She said: “When people were pointing fingers at my husband, I did not believe it until the heat became too much on him and he confided in me that he organized the robbery.”

She revealed that her husband eventually sent her to meet Ologode for the loot. “But I was disappointed when Ologode handed me 200 dollars, a laptop and jewelries. I was surprised that my husband would organize robbery against his mother who had been assisting us.”
She said she could not spill the bean as she was protecting her marriage. “If I had known, I would have told his father about it. I am ashamed of myself.
Ologode, on his part told Daily Sun that he was trying to assist Adedeji in getting money to set up a business. He claimed that it was one Ambali, who fired the shot that killed the woman, adding that when he questioned Ambali on why he killed the woman, Ambali said that he wanted to threaten the woman but misfired.

He said he had begged God to forgive him and other members of the gang who are now at large. On how he procured the gun used during the robbery, he said it was one Irabor who brought the shot gun.
The immediate past Commissioner of Police (CP), Mr. Marvel Akpoyibo before handing over to the new CP, Mr. Isa Alkali told newsmen that it took intelligence gathering to unravel the mystery behind the murder of Alhaja Sakirat Idowu.
He confirmed that her biological son, a graduate of Texile Southern University, Adedeji and his wife Adebimpe masterminded the armed robbery that led to her murder.
He gave the names of other members as Maminu Olusoji alias Ologode, Irabor, Owolowo and Ambali.

This thread has nothing to do with Ndigbo. Are you an Ogoni claiming to be Rivers Igbo?.

Andre, Gogo wasn't really being disrespectful to Ndigbo if you read in between the lines of his post. It was in reference to the Igbo hater-in-chiefs' post a few days ago.

I think he was being sarcastic. Just reread his post my brother. At first I was about to attack him, but then I see the latter half of his statement.

lazy and disgusting fool,imagine killing own mother for cream, yucky.

I don't think he intended the woman to die. Just that the animals he hired didn't seem to care.

I think desperation and greed were his main problems.

I love your sarcasm, Igbo love money too much that they can even kill their own mother for it.

I wonder where all the Igbo haters are, I'm sure if that b/astard Yoruba man had been Igbo, this thread would have made it to the front page.

Everyone loves money but when it leads you to a dastardly act,it became a concern no matter which tribe ,

Freewilly:

You are not lying. Look at the hypocrisy. When this type of thing actually occurred, it seems like it wasn't done by an Igbo.

The gun used for the operation was supplied by an IBO MAN CALLED IRABOR, so the story continues.

FYI, Those people are actually Igbos using Yoruba name to commit their crime

Yoruba people are too sophisticated for that.


Go to Alaigbo, stuff like this are everyday occurrence. This story made the news because it is UNUSUAL in Karo'ojire, If this had happened in Alaigbo, no one would report it because it is part of their lifestyle.
They actually do eat their corpses in Alaigbo

Typical ignorant Nigerian!

IRABOR is not an Igbo name.

The ranting of Yoruba man . . . . . . . . .You are welcome!

Tell that to your Yoruba brother that just ''phantom gamed'' his mother for money.

Why isn't this thread 10 pages by now? If an Igbo man did this, we would never hear the end of this. Why hypocrisy from our Yoruba brethren?

You ve started again?

If i start, you will start running to the mods, sucking Jarus' di-ck

Take time oh!

What do you mean I have started? Simply pointing out the hypocrisy. Plus the title would have said Igbo businessman, not the city where he is from.

This is a sad story though.
