Nigeria: He confesses to killing a motorcyclist in a four-year-old revenge plot

A chilling case has shaken Osun State, Nigeria. A man identified as Adedayo has been arrested after confessing to killing a motorcycle taxi driver, described as his former colleague in the okada sector.

According to local police, the victim, Tiamiyu Afeez, left his home on February 21 for his work as a motorcycle taxi driver in the city of Ede. Two days later, his family reported him missing, before his body was found on a remote road.

A four-year-old revenge

During his interrogation, the suspect claimed to have acted out of revenge. He explained that approximately four years earlier, the victim had stopped him very early in the morning as he was going to the bank during a period of cash shortages.

Adedayo claims that the man falsely accused him of ritualistic practices before taking him to the police station. He also says he lost two phones and some money that day, items he claims he never recovered.

The trap set for the motorcycle driver

The suspect recounted that he had seen Afeez again in February, during Ramadan. After obtaining his phone number, he allegedly called him later, pretending to need a ride.

He then allegedly drove the victim to a secluded location before attacking him. The victim's motorcycle was recovered after the suspect's arrest; he reportedly continued to use it before hiding it at the home of a friend's wife.

The police are continuing their investigation

Investigators from the Osun State Police Homicide Section arrested Adedayo on April 18, 2026, following investigations supported by intelligence and technological analysis.

The suspect is expected to be brought before a judge at the end of the investigation. In his statements, he acknowledged that his actions were illegal and apologized to the authorities.
