The state's
Commissioner of Police, Fimihan Adeoye, disclosed that Alade was caught after several
months of trailing him.
The police
chief revealed that he was caught at the Jaleyemi area of Osogbo during a stop
and search operation by the police on December 6, 2018.
While
answering questions by newsmen, the suspect explained that he had stopped all
criminal activities after getting married in 2016. He said he was caught by the
police when he came back to return a gun belonging to the Eiye confraternity still
in his possession.
Alade said,
"I joined the Eiye Confraternity in 2009 while in school, where I studied
accounting. I became notorious after I was shot and inflicted with machete cuts
in different parts of my body by the rival cult members. I was supposed to
forgive but I didn’t do that.
“My rank in
the Eiye Confraternity is called 'Dove'. I am the number eight in my group. I
didn’t kill many people. I only killed Bode. Bode belonged to Axe
Confraternity. I shot him during a fight between my group and his group. He
didn't die immediately; I was told he died later.
"I also
shot one member of the Axe Confraternity. I shot him in the eye and the gunshot
blinded him. After I did all that, I got married in 2016 and I left Osun State.
"I
stayed in Lagos with my family and I was no longer involved in the activities
of my group. But in December last year, members of my group started calling
that I should return their gun. I was in Osogbo that evening to return the gun
when I was caught."
He called on
youths not to join any cult groups, adding that it is a deception.
Alade added
that if spared, he will never engage in any criminal activities again.
