CHILLING CONFESSIONS OF A BABY-FACED ASSASIN

A female cultist, Mariam Abiola, who was arrested by policemen attached to the Lagos State Police Command, has said she tried to make money from sex, but men slept with her and refused to pay.

The 20-year-old self-confessed member of the dreaded Eiye confraternity had told newsmen after her arrested that she killed no fewer than four people.

However, Abiola, in a new chat with newsmen, said she ran away from her home in Abeokuta because of poverty.

She added that she tried to make more from prostituting her self but because of her small stature, men will sleep with her and tell her stories afterwards.

She also disclosed that apart from sleeping with men for money, she resorted to hawking to survive.

She said,

“After my secondary school in Abeokuta, I started hawking sachet water and other things with my mother. She told me to quickly get married and the man who wanted to marry me is an old man. My girlfriend who is based in Lagos came back to Abeokuta to see her parents. She told me to follow her to Lagos and without telling my mother I came to Lagos.

“On getting to Mushin, I discovered that I still have to hawk to survive. The other option is to be sleeping with men for money.

“I have a small body and men do not like me so much. They will sleep with me and tell me stories.

“Unfortunately, I met Sodiq when I visited Ilasa with my girlfriends. He convinced me to join them, that I will make good money. They took us to their herbalist and we took an oath. He then taught us how to use the gun. He told me that all the people that we will kill are bad people. I have never seen N10, 000 in my life, so I was willing to do anything to make that money.”

When Sodiq confronted her insisting that they have never met, she laughed and said:

“Brother Sodiq, you cannot deny me. Your mother sells Agbo (herbal medicine) on your street. It was inside your house that you taught three of us how to shoot. You were even the one who said that since I wear a hijab that no one will suspect that I am a killer even if I was found at the scene. You also said I have a small stature that people will believe I am 20 years old. It has happened, denying me will not solve your problem, Brother Sodiq.”
