Samson, a 29-year-old choirmaster, has confessed why he defiled and killed Ruth Yakadi Bako, 32, in Jos North LGA of Plateau State.
According to reports, Ruth was coming from work on Saturday night, December 10, 2022, when she was assaulted, defiled, and her belongings carried away by the perpetrator. The next morning, her body was discovered near a car wash in the Farin Gada neighborhood.
Speaking to newsmen, Samson said:
“I am here because I raped and killed someone. I don’t have any reason for what I did but I did it, it is just wickedness of the heart. That day, I just wanted to sleep with her but she refused, due to wickedness, I defiled and killed her
“I am a security guard at a filling station at Farin Gada. That day, I was on duty that night and I saw her passing at about 11 pm. I have never seen her before and I don’t know her but I called her and told her I wanted to sleep with her but she refused. I chased her and caught up with her. That was when I stabbed and raped her.
“She was not dead when I raped her, it is just wickedness of the heart. After I raped her, I picked up her phone and held it for one month. After that I sold it to Ephraim Emmanuel, I did not tell him where I got the phone from just that I told him that the phone is mine. I started working in the filling station in August 2022 and I was being paid N28,000.”
