The young man, Ikechukwu Friday, has been arrested by the Lagos state command for allegedly strangulating a 12-year old girl to death after receiving N100,000 from an unnamed Surulere-based pastor as payment for the faeces of a strangulated teenager.
Parading the suspect before the press, Ngozi Braide, image maker for the Lagos state Police Command, said that the suspect had on the 30th of December, 2013, lured the girl to NITEL’s abandoned building in Badagry and strangled her to death . A security man who had heard the girl's scream few minutes before she died had raised an alarm, alerting residents of the area to the scene just as the alleged murderer was about to flee.
While speaking to the press, the 18-year old confessed to killing the girl, saying he needed the money to buy something. He said, "I went to my pastor and told him that I wanted to be rich. I told him that I needed N100, 000 only and he told me to go and strangle a girl less than 18 years and bring her "shit".
The Pastor has also been arrested, though the police is yet to reveal his identity to the public.
