Woman Murders Her Undergraduate Daughter In Ekiti

A middle-aged woman in Ekiti, Mrs. Victoria Aina Adanikin, has been accused of killing her 22-year-old daughter, Oluwafunmilayo Rosaline Abosede Adanikin at their apartment in Idamodu area of Emure-Ekiti, Emure Local Government Area of Ekiti State.

Trouble was said to have started when Abosede, a 300 level student of the Federal College of Educa­tion, Ikere-Ekiti began to confess committing some evil deeds through diabolical means.
It was gathered from residents and neighbours in the area that she allegedly confessed to causing havoc in her family by killing relatives and spoiling the fortunes of others with some fetish powers she got from her mother, Daily Sun reports.

An old woman, who is a neighbour to the family but who craved anonymity said Ambosede had been taken to some churches for prayers and spiritual deliverance where she spent days confessing and disrupting the peace of everyone there.

“She was even said to have confessed to be in a spiritual cult in which she already had two babies. She said she would return to her home in the occult world whenever she lost her virginity here on earth. She also revealed that she had lost her virginity recently.

“Abosede had confessed to killing a relative of her mum as well as causing the misfortune that befell her father, Pa Titus Folorunso Adanikin, among other things before we heard that she had died that night. The incident caused a stir in the community, as the girl actually made the confessions in the full glare of the public,” she said.

According to another resident, the last church that Abosede was taken to rejected her and asked her mum to take her home.

She explained that Abosede’s confessions were reported to the traditional ruler, Oba Emmanuel Adebayo (a former Commissioner of Police) who immediately ordered that the girl and her mum should report at the palace so the matter could be looked into according to the traditions of the land.
When the King’s messengers got the home of Mrs. Adanikin, she denied her daughter had confessed to anything, saying she only had mental problem.

Immediately the King’s messengers left, she was said to have tied the hands and legs of her daughter and when it was late in the night, she began to beat the girl in the room where she had her locked up.
She later allegedly got a coffin and hired some men to force her dying daughter inside. The next morning, she buried the girl beside the uncompleted building of her late father, Pa Folorunso Titus Adanikin.

Mrs. Adanikin fled the community after the incident and is yet to be found.
However, a woman in the area, who described herself as a relative of the suspect, argued that Abosede’s mum was incapable of killing her daughter, saying: “Aina (Mrs. Adanikin) is not capable of hurting a fly, let alone killing her own daughter.”

Meanwhile, Abiodun, one of the children of Mrs. Adanikin, said their mother owes them some explanation since she was alleged to have turned down the Oba’s invitation to the palace during the alleged confessions of my sister.

He said: “However, since it didn’t happen in my presence, I cannot say that our mum killed the girl. But I cannot also say that she didn’t do it. Where one is pushed to suspect a foul play is that my mum and her sister, both of whom were said to be with the Abosede during her travails, during the alleged confessions and her reported mental derailment, suddenly disappeared the morning after they allegedly buried the girl.

“Given such circumstances, I think my mum owes us all some explanation, more so since the people alleged that she “Right now, we don’t know where she is; we would have heard from her what really happened that night, leading to the sudden death and hasty burial of the girl.”
