Alhaji Tajudeen Oladele and his wife, Alhaja Tawakalitu, had a nasty experience in Lagos after the husband received a call that their time on earth was up, which threw the whole family into panic mood.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the caller, later identified as 43-year old Adekunle Shoetan, informed the couple that they should prepare to die because he had been paid to assassinate them within 21 days.
The incident happened at Alagbado area of Lagos, where the couple resides.
Police source said that the suspect, Shoetan, called Alhaji Oladele through a hidden number and informed him that he was paid to kill him and his wife within the stipulated period and that they should prepare for their death and burial.
The information put the victims into serious confusion and panic as they were not yet prepared to die. They reportedly went into prayers and fasting pleading for God to save them from death.
However, succour came their way when they reported the threat to the operatives of Intelligence Response Team, IRT, Lagos State who moved into action; eventually tracked and arrested the suspect, Shoetan.
The suspect was interrogated and found culpable. He was then charged before the Ogba Magistrates Court for conspiracy and threatening with violence.
He pleaded not guilty.
The prosecutor, Supol Peter Nwaogwugwu, asked the Court to fix a date for hearing to enable the Police to prove that he actually committed the offence since he pleaded not guilty.
The Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. Y.O. Aje-Afunwa, granted Shoetan bail in the sum of N500,000 with two sureties in like sum.
He was remanded in prison custody pending when he will perfect his bail conditions. The matter was adjourned till 19th December, 2019.
