In a chilling confession, 18-year-old Mubarak Akadiri has narrated how he killed retired head teacher, Mrs. Sidikat Adamolekun in Ondo state after stealing her phone valued at N66,000.
Gatekeepers News reports that Mubarak, the son of the victim’s housemaid, revealed that he used a wooden stool to repeatedly hit the 62-year-old elderly woman on the head when she caught him stealing the phone.
“As usual, I went to the house to work and I later came back to steal her Samsung phone.
“Unfortunately, the deceased caught me after I have stolen the phone. So, she held me. In an attempt to escape, I used a wooden stool to hit her head, but the old woman kept shouting for help. Thereafter, I hit her repeatedly on her head until she fell and died.”
Magistrate Damilola Sekoni at the Akure Magistrate Court remanded Mubarak at the Olokuta Correctional Centre pending the outcome of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) advice.
Sekoni adjourned the case to March 15, 2024.
