Operatives of Ondo State Police Command have arrested a middle-aged man who claimed to be an assassin after allegedly killing about 500 people.

The state’s Commissioner of Police, Abayomi Oladipupo, said the suspect, Adetokunbo Adesina, was apprehended after threatening to assassinate a woman in the state.

Oladipupo disclosed that the suspect had threatened the woman that three of her workers had paid him to assassinate her, hence, she must pay him to spare her life.

He said: “On April 18, 2024, at about 7:00 a.m., a case of threat to life and demanding money with menace was reported to the police.

The complainant stated that she received a call from a strange number, and the caller introduced himself as an assassin.

“The caller affirmed that he had killed over 500 people and that three of her staff had paid him to assassinate her.

He demanded that a certain amount be paid to an account or the complainant would be executed.

“Out of fear, the victim sent the sum of $110,000 to the account forwarded to her.

Among those paraded at the police headquarters in Akure, the state capital, were cases of murder, kidnapping and armed robbery suspects.

Oladipupo added that “a case of murder was reported against one Abdullahi Fatai, aged 30, who was suspected to have killed his wife.

“The complainant stated that she left the deceased and her husband at home on March 26, for church in the early hours of the day and returned late on the same date, only for the husband to announce the death of his wife.

“Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect and his wife, Olayode Morenike (late), had always quarreled over the issue of going to check on her child in her former marriage.
