BEVERLY HILLS, August 24, (THEWILL) – 19-year-old Sunday Shodipe accused of involvement in the rape and murder of some female residents in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, has narrated how he escaped from police custody.
On Sunday, Shodipe told journalists how police’s negligence gave him the opportunity to run away.
According to the suspected serial killer, he escaped from Mokola police custody where he was detained when he was ordered to take his bath by the Divisional Police Officer (DPO). The suspect said he jumped the fence when the police officer asked to monitor him was not paying close attention.
“The new female DPO asked Officer Funsho to allow me to take my bath. He cautioned me not to try to escape but I managed. I escaped when I saw him discussing with another person. I climbed the borehole pole and jumped the fence. The people living in the area saw me when I escaped but they did not raise any alarm,” he narrated.
THEWILL had reported that Shodipe escaped from police custody over a week ago. He was, however, recaptured on Sunday.
