    One Taye Agbaje has reportedly been arrested by the police for allegedly killing his younger brother’s two children in a bush in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

    Taye was said to have gone to his sibling’s residence in Kemta Abata, Abeokuta, on August 6, abducted the two girls on his bike, and then killed them with a cutlass.

    It was also reported that the children’s father, Idowu Agbaje, who was not at home when Taye arrived, began looking for them when he returned home in the evening.

    Members of the community informed him that they had seen the two girls on his brother’s motorcycle during the day.

    Residents of Kemta Abata were shocked by the incident, claiming that the suspect did not live in the community.

    Taye is currently in police custody, according to a community source who did not want to be identified.

    In a now viral video, Agbaje confessed that he macheted the two girls, Promise, nine years old, and her seven-year-old younger sister, Testimony, inside the bush and left their corpses there.

    Agbaje denied killing the children for ritual purposes in the video, but he couldn’t explain why their private parts were also removed and couldn’t even be recovered at the scene of the crime.

    “When Taye was asked about the whereabouts of the girls, he denied knowing about their whereabouts. Members of the community said they saw him conveying the girls, yet he said he only took them to the market.

    “He was taken to Kemta police division, where he later confessed to having killed his nieces. Taye took the police to the bush, where he slit his nieces throats and left the bodies.

    “We all saw the bodies where he killed them. The police have evacuated the corpses to the mortuary. Taye did not give any particular reason for his action; he only said the mother of the kids had spiritually taken his glory for her husband. This is very shocking,” a member of the community narrated.

    Confirming the incident, Omolola Odutola, the Public Relations Officer for the Ogun State Police, called it “incomprehensible.”

    According to Odutola, the suspect displayed no remorse when being probed by police, blaming Satan for the crime.

    “The suspect didn’t give any specific reason why he killed his brother’s children. There was no sign of remorse. He’s just blaming Satan, and that does not exist in law,” Odutola said.
