The 20-year-old lady, who claimed to be an OND 2 Mass Communication
student, was arrested on August 29 at Ifo, around 11.45pm, while
travelling in a mini-truck with one Sikiru Kelani.
She was among the suspects paraded by the Ogun State police
commissioner, Abdulmajid Ali, on Tuesday at the state command
headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta.
However, while speaking with newsmen Oreoluwa, who wept profusely, said
it was Kelani that hid the gun inside her bag without her knowledge.
She explained that she knew Kelani, a self-confessed member of Bucaneer
confraternity, through her late boyfriend, Akeem, who was also a
Marketing student at MAPOLY.
She said, “On the day I was arrested, I came from Lagos to attend the
candle light procession organised for my late boyfriend, Akeem, in
Abeokuta.
“After the event, I went to my friend’s place where I had intended to
pass the night, but she had travelled out of town to Ijebu Ode. It was
at this point this ‘street brother’ (Sikiru Kelani) to my late boy
friend, asked me to pass the night in his place.
“I was already sleeping when he woke me up around after 9pm, and said we
are travelling to Oshodi in Lagos. I was baffled because it was already
late.
“He lied to me that there was problem in the house, and we had to leave.
He told me we should use the opportunity to attend a party being
organised by his friend in Lagos. On our way, he stopped to see some
people at Ori Iyanrin in Abeokuta. That was the last I knew about the
case.”
Kelani, while speaking with newsmen, confessed that he was the one who
hid the gun in Oreoluwa’s bag when he sighted the men of the Special
Anti-Robbery Squad on the highway at Ifo.
He said he was on his way to Oshodi, Lagos, to attend a friend’s party when himself and Oreoluwa were arrested.
