I was paid 7000 to kill former Guilder Ultimate Search winner

One of the suspects arrested for the murder of a former winner of Guilder Ultimate Search, Hector Jobarteh, has confessed to receiving N7k for participating in the Gruesome murder of Hector,49-year-old Ismaila Adeyemi, said after they successfully hacked him to death, he was given a phone as his prize, which he sold for N7000, and then gave his brother who helped him to sell it 2k out of the money.

Ismaila, who was paraded on Monday at the Lagos State Police Command headquarters in Ikeja, told said that one Nonso, KK and him stormed the house that Jobarteh’s lived on a robbery mission that day.
He said, 
“I did not know who the man was before the operation. On that day, we parked at a filling station around his house and a lady came to meet KK. After a while, he received a call from the lady and we saw the man (Jobarteh) drove into the close.

“We followed him, but did not know where he entered. KK approached a woman and lied to her that the man’s car hit his and he sped off. He begged her to direct us to where the man entered and she did. When we got into the building, we saw the car and met another lady on the premises.

“KK asked the lady to lead us to the man’s apartment, but she declined. It was when he pointed a gun at the woman that she complied and took KK upstairs. He called us to come upstairs, but by the time we got to a living room upstairs, he had shot the man’s father in the hand.”

The native of Osogbo, Osun State said the gunshot prompted Jobarteh to come out from a room to the living room, where KK immediately gunned him down.

“I did not shoot at all, although I was holding a gun too. I quarrelled with KK for shooting them, because our plan was just to rob. He threatened to shoot me and I kept quiet. It was a pair of shoes and flowers that were in the bag we collected from him. We didn’t find money there.

“I took away only his white handset while KK went with the bag. I gave the phone to my brother, Usman, to help me sell it. He said he sold it for N7,000. I collected N5,000 and gave him N2,000,” he added.

However, the state Commissioner of Police, Edgar Imohimi, who paraded Adeyemi, said he shot the GUS winner.

He added that the command would not stop until other suspects involved in the murder were arrested.

Imohimi said, “I am glad to announce to you that after weeks of extensive manhunt, the principal suspect, Ismail Adeyemi, who pulled the trigger that killed the victim, has been arrested and he confessed to the crime.
