Adebayo Olamide Azeez, a 32-year-old graduate of Kwara State Polytechnic and ritual killer in Ogun State, has confessed to luring female victims via a social media app called MyChat.
A post shared on the Ogun State Police’s X page on Thursday revealed that Azeez, alongside Moses Abidemi Aruwaji and Maria Awuraji, a couple who are members of the criminal syndicate, was arrested in February.
The police launched an investigation after Suleimon Adijat, one of their victims, was reported missing at the Onipanu Division of the state. As disclosed by the police, the couple were arrested before Azeez, who initially ran away. He was, however, arrested on February 23.
After his arrest, Azeez mentioned how he worked with Moses by helping him get female victims through a dating platform called MyChat. The women would then be killed for ritual purposes.
While being interviewed in a video, Azeez said he started working for Moses on September 23, 2023, through January 11, 2024, because “he could not secure a job despite being a graduate of Kwara State Polytechnic”.
During this period, Azeez revealed, he would lure seven unsuspecting women to their deaths, after which Moses would pay him either N30,000 or N40,000.
Azeez said: “I have this MyChat app on my phone. Anytime he needs someone, he will tell me, and I will go to the app. That was where I met Adijat Sulaimot; I did not know her before then. It was on the app that I chatted with her, sent her an address to meet me at Atan, and took her to Awuraji’s house at Igbo Olomi Atan. She said she would collect N15,000 but I sent N6000 before she came. When she came, I met her at the bus stop, and from there took her to Abidemi Moses’ house.”
“10 female bags were recovered from the shrine of one of the previously arrested suspects, Moses Abidemi Aruwaji. The three suspects confessed to the killing of ten different ladies at the Igbo Olomi residence of Moses Abidemi,” said the police.
“The Comand is working assiduously to unravel the identity of other victims; therefore, any family whose relatives are missing is advised to come forward to the SCIID, Eleweran, Abeokuta.”

Social media influencer and relationship therapist, Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has been arraigned before the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, over an alleged N36 million fraud case.
She was docked on Friday by the Lagos Zonal Directorate 1 of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on a two-count charge bordering on obtaining money by false pretence and alleged theft.
According to the charge, Blessing CEO allegedly obtained N36 million from Mrs. Ifeyinwa Nonye Okoye between July 14 and 17, 2024, under the pretence of securing a six-bedroom duplex located in Lekki, Lagos, a statement on the anti-graft agency’s website said.
The prosecution alleged that the representation was false and violated provisions of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006.
She was also accused of fraudulently converting the said sum for personal use, contrary to the Criminal Code Act.
Blessing CEO pleaded “not guilty” to the charges when they were read in court.
Following her plea, the prosecution requested that she be remanded in a correctional facility pending trial, while the defence counsel said she had only just been served with the charges and was preparing a bail application.
Justice D. I. Dipeolu ordered that the defendant be remanded in EFCC custody pending the hearing of her bail application.
The case was adjourned till June 5, 2026, for trial.
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command on Friday described the alleged reports circulating on social media alleging an influx of herdsmen into Anguwan Dobi, Gwagwalada Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, and suggesting an imminent security threat within the area as false and misleading.

“However, no unusual gathering, suspicious movement, or persons matching the claims in the reports were found within the said area or its surrounding environment at the time of investigation.
“The Command wishes to assure residents that it is closely monitoring developments within the area, while investigation is still ongoing to fully ascertain the facts surrounding the matter. Residents are therefore advised to remain calm, go about their lawful businesses without fear or apprehension”.
While reassuring residents of its unwavering commitment to the protection of lives and property, the Command further enjoined members of the public to remain vigilant and promptly report any suspicious persons, movements, or activities to the nearest Police Station or through the FCT Police Command emergency lines: 08032003913 and 08061581938.
