The suspected killer of Oluyemisi Ogundana, commandant of Command Secondary School at the Armed Forces Command and Staff College (AFCSC), Jaji, Kaduna, Bernard Simon, has revealed how he killed her.

Naija News recalls that Ogundana was found dead in a well in a village close to the Jaji military cantonment, Kaduna State after she was declared missing.

The corpse of the murdered Naval officer was dismembered and put in a big sack before being dumped in the shallow well.

Two suspects, including Simon, a teacher at the Command Secondary School, Jaji and one other were arrested in connection to her murder.

While parading the suspects on Wednesday, the Kaduna State Police Commissioner, Ali Janga, said Simon raped the naval officer to death.

However, Bernard Simon denied raping the deceased before killing her.

He revealed that he sneaked into her house at the Jaji military cantonment and hit her on the head with an iron rod.

“I killed her because she was cheating us in school. I am a teacher in the school and she was cheating us as staff under her. I killed her to set the whole staff of the school free from her cheats.

“There are some financial benefit she deprived us of. She denied me in particular of over N100,000. That is why I killed her to set myself and other staff free from her,” the 30-year-old said.

He also admitted throwing the mutilated body of Ogundana into a shallow well.

Simon, however, expressed regret over his action.
