Mr Edet who interestingly is a father of three children, today shed more light on why he murdered the ten years old grand – daughter of his employer and proprietor of Favour Nursery and Primary School, Ijebu – Imushin, Ogun state, Pastor Joseph Olitoye.
Umoren, 52, who hails from Ikot – Epene in Akwa – Ibom state, beheaded Precious Olitoye last Thursday at Esugbo, Itamerin near Ijebu-Ife, Ijebu East Local Government Area of Ogun State, also mutilated her remains.
Miss Precious Adedeji who was a pupil of Favour Nursery and Primary School, was living with her grand mother.
Speaking to Journalists, Umoren said that what happened to him was “not ordinary” , adding that since he came back to his senses, he has been unable to comprehend how he could butcher an innocent child.
He said it was an attack from his family back home in Ikot – Epene, which allegedly unleashed “demonic spirits” that drove him into the uncharacteristic violence and murderous conducts.
Umoren who was paraded before reporters on Monday at the Headquarters of the Federal Special Anti – Robbery Squad(FSARS) at Magbon – Abeokuta, Ogun state, by the Commissioner of Police, further said that on the day of the incident, he had a cutlass in his hand and was going to a nearby bush to fetch a cane did not know why he turned the matchet on the girl.
According to him, on sighting the little girl, he took her to the bush and when she responded to his call, and butchered her in a fit of anger and ran away but was arrested by the members of the Vigilante group and the Police.
” It is not ordinary that I killed the girl afterall, they(she and her grandfather) have been provoking and attacking me verbally before without me doing anything bad and never felt annoyed.
“I was actually going to the bush to fetch a cane for use in my class when I saw and I used the cutlass on her. I was not myself when I took the cutlass and killed her. I believe it is a spiritual attack from my family.
“I really regret the whole thing because I have my three children in my village, that is why I said it is not an ordinary when I came to back to my senses after the deed has been done,” Umoren said.

Of recent, I have noticed that stories of killings, as a result of sheer wickedness or rituals seems to be coming from ogun state. Something needs to be done about that state before they turn this country into something else. Even some teenagers over there are already trying their hands on money ritual jazz. “They should change the name of the state, I think the “ogun” is demonic and it is indirectly affecting the inhabitants.
