Dr. Abass Adio Adeyemi, a former Chief Medical Director (CMD) of the government-run Kaiama General Hospital in the state’s Kaiama local government area, has been put on trial for murder and organ harvesting.
Recall that two missing women’s decomposing bodies were discovered buried in a little grave in the doctor’s office.
Prior to that, the suspect—a native of Kwara State’s Offa LGA—had been detained for the murder of cab driver Emmanuel Yobo Agbovinuere.
He is accused of murdering the victim in Benin City, Edo state, disposing of his body at the Otofure hamlet along the Benin-Lagos highway, and fleeing with the victim’s car.
The state police commissioner, Paul Odama, stated that the command is closing in on other members of the crime syndicate while parading the 36-year-old suspect in Ilorin on Monday evening, February 20, 2023.
The suspect allegedly sedated some of his victims, who were largely women, before killing them, adding that he killed and buried some of them while also killing others in order to take their organs.
Prior to killing those in Kwara State, including his female acquaintance, the suspect is also suspected of killing one of his victims in Edo State, according to Odama.
The identities of the deceased were further provided by him as Olanipekun Ifeoluwa Ibikun “f,” Nafisat Halidu “f,” Abubakar Malam Abubakar “male,” and an unnamed woman.
The suspect was found to have a Toyota Camry LE with the registration number WSN 494 AA, two female handbags—one black and one pink—two Infinix phones, a Techno phone, a female wig, a black veil, a female trouser, and an industrial trash container.
According to the police chief, “On 3/7/2022, at around 2350 hours, one Muktar Opeyemi (male) reported at “F” Division, Ilorin, that on 25/6/2022, he noticed that one of his co-tenants by name Ifeoluwa (female), of the same address, and her vehicle, a Toyota Camry, were last seen inside the compound on 24/6/2022, which was unusual.
A case of culpable homicide involving the death of a young, female was reported to the Alapa Police Station while the inquiry into the missing woman was proceeding.
Unknown woman was discovered in the bushes next to the road with blood on her face and a violent mark of injury on her skull. The same young woman who was killed and dumped into the bush at Alapa was identified as the missing Olanipekun Ifeoluwa Ibukun after an investigation.
“An investigation into the matter showed that the deceased Ifeoluwa was last seen with a man named Dr. Abass Adio Adeyemi. It seemed more likely that the doctor knew something about the missing woman because of the circumstances surrounding the Ifeoluwa’s disappearance at Tanke and her discovery dead at Alapa. News of Edo State’s coup d’état arrived as the command was looking for the doctor.
Dr. Abbas Adio Adeyemi had been detained by Police Command in connection with another murder case.
He was successfully released to the command to aid in the investigation as part of the command’s efforts to solve the Kwara State serial murder case.
He admitted to killing Ifeoluwa by striking her in the head with a blunt object and dumping her body in a bush in Alapa.
He also admitted to sedated and causing the kidnapping and deaths of one Abubakar Malam Abubakar, a “male,” and one Nafisat Halidu, a “female,” both casual employees at General Hospital in Kaiama.
He kept her body inside a locked store in the General Hospital Kaiama with the key in his pocket, filled the trash-can with cement, and kept the store inside ” Also, he admitted to killing a woman who was buried inside the same general hospital store.
The University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital in Ilorin received both exhumed, recovered, and deposited bodies ” He further admitted to having been tricked into organ harvesting by an unnamed syndicate. To determine whether the suspect and his syndicate were responsible for further deaths, a covert investigation is still ongoing.
The commissioner continued, “Dr. Adio Abbas Adeyemi would shortly be charged in court.”
