After three years of being charged, an Osun State High Court sitting in Ikire has sentenced a 46-year-old woman, Bola Adeeko, to two years imprisonment for eating the cooked heart of a deceased final year student of Lagos State University, LASU, Favour Duley Oladele.
The court also convicted Adeeko’s 23-year-old son who was a student of LASU, Owolabi Adeeko for luring his schoolmate and girlfriend, Favour from Ogun State to Osun to be killed for money ritual.
Those convicted were first charged to court in January, 2020 and remanded in prison for their involvement in the killing of Favor OLADELE, a former student of Lagos state university.
The prosecution team from the state Ministry of Justice had informed the court during trial that the convicts committed the offence on December 8, 2019 and arraigned in court on November 15, 2021.
The prosecution counsel told the court how Owolabi had asked Favour, his girlfriend, through phone call on December 8, 2019 to come and meet his uncle at Ikoyi-Ile.
Upon the arrival of the deceased to Ikoyi-Ile community, the prosecutor said Owolabi took Favour to Prophet Segun’s church where she was killed and dismembered and her heart was eaten by Owolabi’s mother in order to get rich
Delivering her judgement, the presiding judge, Justice Christiana Obadina declared that the prosecuting team had proven its case beyond reasonable doubt and therefore, found Prophet Segun and Owolabi guilty as charged and were sentenced to death for murder of Favour and also bagged 14 years imprisonment for conspiracy
The mother of Owolabi who was not privy to the killing of favour but was only given a concoction to eat was convicted for eating human flesh and sentenced to two years imprisonment.
