A 32-year-old self-confessed yahoo boy (Internet fraudster), Afeez Olalere, has revealed that he killed his younger brother for money ritual with the aid of his mother.
He made this disclosure after being arrested by operatives of the Lagos State Police Command during a stop-and-search operation along Itamaga, Ikorodu Road, in Lagos.
The suspect alleged that his mother encouraged him to kill his younger brother after a herbalist they both visited at her behest directed him to “sacrifice one life and that person must be a sibling to him”.
Olalere said, “My mother took me to an herbalist who told me if I want to be successful in the yahoo business, I will have to sacrifice one life and that person must be a sibling to me.”
He further revealed that after settling for his 21-year-old brother, they poisoned his food and he died after 20 minutes.
The confessed murderer added that they then cut out body parts that were requested by the herbalist and wrapped his remains to be taken to a mortuary.
He said: “The things he would need to prepare a concoction with are his thumbs, his hair, fingers and a passport photograph.
“So, we went back home and thought about it, then my mother suggested that we use my younger brother since he is just 21 years old.
“She also brought the poison which we gave him to eat. He died within 20 minutes after consuming the food. I was the one who cut out the body parts needed. We then wrapped his dead body and headed to the mortuary.”
