A suspect arrested in connection with the abduction and death of a
medical doctor working at the Omu-Aran General Hospital in Irepodun area
of Kwara State, Dr. Tunde Abdulrahman, in July 2016 has explained that
he personally shot the victim and later sold his corpse, Punchng
reports.
Abdulrahman had been missing since he was abducted by
three armed men, Hammed, Dayo and Yemi, who stormed his father’s house
in Tanke area of Ilorin and took him away in his Toyota Corolla saloon
car.
Since his abduction, the kidnappers have not contacted the
family to demand a ransom, creating
apprehension that he might have been
killed. But now, the police said he might have indeed been killed
considering confessions made by the arrested suspect, Hammed Jamiu. .
Hammed
is an ex-convict and the son of the long-time security guard at
Abdulrahman’s family house. According to Hammed, he shot Abdulrahman
because the victim saw his face and was able to identify him. .
All
efforts to get Hammed to divulge where he buried the doctor’s body have
proved abortive as he at a point identified a rich man residing in
Shagamu area of Ogun State as their accomplice. .
“The rich man
was the one who bought his corpse for N400,000,” he said in his
statement. But the police said their investigation later revealed that
he had no such dealing with the said “rich man” whose identity the
police did not reveal. .
He also took investigators to a forest
in Kwara State, where he showed them some buried bones claiming that
they were the remains of the doctor. Tests later revealed that they were
that of a cow. The police have said investigation was still ongoing on
the case.
