I Escaped Through the Fence-Suspected Serial Killer

Following the rearrests of Sunday Shodipe, a suspected serial killer, in the Akinyele Local Government Area of Oyo State, facts have emerged on how the unfortunate incident took place. Narrating how he escaped, the suspect said he climbed a tank stand and scaled the fence when he was taken out to take his bath. This he disclosed after he was re-arrested on Sunday.

Shodipo said, “The new DPO at Mokola Police Station told a policeman, Funso, that he should take us out to have our bath. The policeman took me out and he warned me against trying to escape. I didn’t even think of escaping when he said that.

“But when I saw that he was engrossed in his discussion with a man, I climbed the tank stand and scaled the fence. It was around 7 pm when I escaped.”

The Police Public Relations Officer in Oyo State, Mr. Olugbenga Fadeyi, who confirmed the development in Ibadan on Sunday, said the 19-year-old suspect was back in custody.
