“I will tear the pillow case and tie her hands and legs.” Nigeria
And like a movie episode in a television crime and investigation story, the killings went on for a while, unresolved, with security agencies keeping sealed lips and seemingly clueless and helpless, while tension and apprehension rose among residents, especially young girls and ladies who have been the target.
While being paraded and interrogated by the state Commissioner of Police, Mustapha Dandaura, at the state Police headquarters on Moscow Road, Port Harcourt, the 39-year-old suspect from Asari Toru Council, claimed there was no motive behind his killings. “So, the girl, out of fear, will not shout and I will tell her that I will not kill her, but she should just cooperate and see what I will do to her. I will promise her that I will just tie her and keep her and she will cooperate by relaxing.
“I have killed five girls in Port Harcourt, one in Owerri and one in Lagos. I started the killing in Lagos; that was where I got money, because the first girl had N52, 000 in her account. After that, I went to Port Harcourt, then Owerri. I returned to Port Harcourt. I met the last girl I killed at the club.”
“To be sure of what he said, we asked him to name the hotels where he had killed, he brought out the list, which matched with the hotels where the killings took place in the state. “The command's Special Anti-Robbery Squad team was on their usual ‘stop and search’ duties when they intercepted a commercial bus heading towards Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
West’s arrest may have doused the tension in the state over serial killings, but many residents are still apprehensive, believing that he could not have acted alone and could not be responsible for all related killings in the state.
