20 Year Old Man Slits His Niece's Throat After Stealing Her School Fees In Oyo State

The wickedness of man in this world is becoming glaring by the day, how would someone think of murdering his own niece for a small amount as N47,000...Too sad. Thank God she survived.

20-year-old student of the College of Education in Oyo State, Olajide Ajayi, has been arrested by the state Police Command for attempting to murder his niece, Opeyemi Ajala, by cutting her throat after he deceived her and stole her school fees.

According to the police, the suspect was said to have collected Ajala's ATM card with the intention of withdrawing the sum of N47,000 to help her pay her school fees which he instead used to buy clothes and spend on his girlfriend.
When the niece, also a student of the institution, asked him for the teller with which he paid in the money, he began to develop a plan to kill her when he could no longer bear the pressure from her.
In a bid to cover up his theft, on the night of  the incident, Ajayi went to Ajala's house with a knife, sneaked into her room where she was sleeping, and proceeded to slit her throat with the knife where he left her for dead.
Unfortunately for him, Ajala lady did not die and she managed to alert her neighbours who rushed her to the University College of Hospital, Ibadan, and reported the case to the police.
During his interrogation, Ajayi confessed to his crime.

“I collected the money, but I spent it. When the pressure from her was too much, and there was no way I could get the money to pay her back, I decided to kill her. One night, I went to her house with a sharp knife to kill her.
I got to her house at about 8 pm; when I entered the room, I locked the door and pinned her head down on the bed. I did not allow her to shout. Then, I brought out the knife and slit her throat. When blood started gushing out and she was unconscious, I thought she was dead and I escaped.”
