A 20-year-old suspected Yahoo Boy, Daniel Bamidele, has been apprehended after stabbing his parents on Thursday, January 25.
The Nation reported that
Daniel’s mother, Titilayo, reportedly ran out of their home in Apabielesin area
of Ibadan, Oyo State with serious injury, calling for help as her son sneaked
into their home and attacked her and his father with a machete.
This attracted bystanders who
rushed into the house, held Daniel down and dispossessed him of the machete he had
used to attack his parents.
After being dispossessed of the
long knife by neighbours who held him down and freed his father from his grip,
Daniel explained that he had been earning a living from cybercrime also called
yahoo business for some time. He said his parents were aware that he already
built a three-bedroom bungalow from the proceeds of the cybercrime.
Daniel added that he promised
to get a store for his mother and stock it with goods so she could become a big
trader once he recorded a breakthrough.
He said his mother and elder
brother allegedly connived to fleece him of the sum of N2.5 million despite the
promise he made to get her a store.
He said;
“I purposely lured my mother
from a church programme she was attending, and as soon as we arrived home, I
attacked her with a knife and was already inflicting cuts on her body when my
father tried to save her from me.
“I attacked my father too
because if I had not stabbed both of them, they would have succeeded in killing
me.”
Daniel also said that he
attacked his mother and father with a knife for giving him a fake name which
rendered the magic black soap he got from a white garment church priest
useless. He further revealed that he made his elder brother his next of kin in
his bank documentation but the same elder brother allegedly had been trying to
play smart with his money.
Daniel said;
“I am a 200-level student of
LAUTECH and I have built a three-bedroom bungalow from the money I made from
doing yahoo business. I am angry with my parents, particularly my mother, for
giving me a fake name instead of her real name.
“There is a particular black
magic soap that I have been using lately. The soap was given to me by the
priest of a white garment church named Mathew.
“I was the one who bought a
generator for Pastor Mathew’s church around Ona Grammar School in Ogbomosho.
“The soap was meant to bring me
good fortune, but there was the need for me to call my mother’s name into it
before it could work.
“My mother told me that her
name is Titilayo. But when I called the name into the soap, it did not work.
Hence, I got angry and decided to stab her.”
However, Daniel’s mother,
Titilayo said she did not collect any money from him. She said;
“I was called on the phone to
come pick up my son from school at LAUTECH when he started exhibiting mental
illness.
“When we got home, his father
brought a native medicine home and gave him to use. He slept off after taking
the medicine.
“However, when he woke up, he
demanded the whereabouts of his phone and I told him I did not take his phone.
He landed several blows on me.
“He is a liar; I did not collect
any money from him.”
Daniel's father also accused
his wife of knowing everything pertaining to how his son ventured into yahoo
business and how he built a house from the money he made from the fraudulent
activity.
He said;
“My wife was the one that
indulged him (Daniel). She knew when her son started building a house, yet she
did not tell me.”
