Teacher Who Beheaded Proprietor’s Granddaughter in Ogun Tells His Side of the Story
Edet Umoren, the private school teacher who beheaded his proprietor’s 10-year-old granddaughter last Thursday in the Ijebu East Local Government Area of Ogun State (read here) has said he was provoked by some uncomplimentary remarks made by the victim and the headteacher, said to be the proprietor’s wife.
According to Punch, the 52-year-old who was paraded on Monday at the headquarters of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Magbon, Abeokuta, said,
“That morning, I held a cutlass which I used to cut canes in the bush to discipline pupils. The girl(Adedeji) and the head teacher saw me and made some remarks which provoked me; then I used the cutlass to behead her.
I never knew what came over me; it was when I had carried out the act that I regained my senses. I regret my action.”
Umoren, who claims he is married with three children, said the proprietor owed him more than 2 months salary, claiming he has not been paid for four years. He also said his salary was N7,000 per month and not N4,000.
He also denied stealing over N250,000 from the proprietor’s church, claiming what he took from the church fund was about N50,000 as part of the salary arrears the proprietor owed him.
Flimsy excuse…. Smh. What a wicked world.
So that’s enough reason to behead a human? To think he has kids of his own makes it all the more sickening. I pray he rots in jail.
What rubbish! Rot in jail jare.
Crazy man, Is this for real, or film tricks, somebody should wake me up……killing has become the order of the day, so easy to kill your fellow human
Nawaz for you ooh
So for ur mind u have given us an excuse y u took away life dt does not belong to you?
Can u compare life with money?
C wat anger has landed u into
Nonsense.You’ll face the music
What an excuse
Lord have mercy. And he has kids o. Pls let whatever it is that came on this man before he beheaded the poor girl come on the law enforcement agencies. He shouldn’t be left scot free
Na wah ooooooi. He shouldnt have gone that far
how can this kinda person b a teacher in your school self.he looks mad.
Perhaps dis man has been killing people before cos how can a man just kill a human being in cold blood like that. Well I hope he rot in jail
How can this man be a teacher, he looks crazy
You didn’t know what came over you…the devil off course, now that devil is sending you to jail. Enjoy!
There’s no justification for taking another person’s life. Why didn’t you wait for the owner of the school whom you had scores to settle with?
He doesn’t know what came over him kwa? Now he knows nonsense
May he get what he deserve. Devil incarnate
Is he hallucinating ?I wonder how somebody could behead somebody & starts making excuses
Stupid man
Mad man
Beast! Enjoy your time in jail!
