Lekan Adebisi, the suspected madman who butchered two four-year-old pupils in Ogun State on Monday, has explained the reason for his action.
Adebisi had stormed the premises of St. John’s Anglican Primary School, Agodo, Ogun Waterside LGA and hacked two pupils, Mubarak Kalesowo and Sunday Obituyi, to death.
The suspect was nabbed in a bush on Thursday by a team of policemen from Ogbere Area Command.
Speaking with journalists after his arrest, Adebisi said he embarked on the action over “frustration”.
See transcript of an interview with Adebisi, who most times reportedly sounded incoherent and constantly switched between Yoruba and English.
How old are you?
I am 28 years old.
Are you married or single?
I am not married. I don’t have a girlfriend.
What do you do for a living?
I used to organise private lessons for children and charge N20 per child.
Why did you kill two pupils at St. John’s Anglican Primary School, Agodo, Ogun Waterside Local Government Area?
I did not eat for two weeks and I went out to beg other people for money. Nobody gave me money. When I had money, I took care of family members, friends and even outsiders.
You haven’t answered the question. Why did you kill the pupils?
It was due to frustration. When hunger gripped me and it became unbearable, I thought of my life and concluded that it was a bad life. Then I grabbed a machete. I was prepared to face the consequence.”
